THE    AUTHOR 


PREFACE. 


The  writer  presents  this  volume  to  the  citizens  of  his 
native  city  as  purely  a  work  of  love.  At  the  close  of  the 
Civil  War  we  found,  that  notwithstanding  the  loyalty  and 
patriotism  of  our  city  during  that  eventful  period,  and  its 
earnest  and  hearty  support  of  the  National  Government, 
that  it  had  not  only  promptly  furnished  all  the  men  it  was 
called  upon  by  the  State  to  provide,  but  had  actually  ex- 
ceeded by  more  than  one  hundred  and  fifty  men  (including 
those  in  the  40th  New  York  Infantry)  all  demands  made 
upon  it,  yet  it  had  absolutely  given  no  thought  to,  or  made 
the  slightest  provision  for,  the  preservation  of  the  names  or 
the  collating  of  the  records  of  those  who  had  given  of  their 
time,  their  health,  and  their  lives  for  the  preservation  of  the 
Union  and  the  honor  and  good  name  of  the  city. 

Feeling  assured  that  but  a  short  time  would  elapse  before 
many  of  the  names  as  well  as  the  honorable  records  of  the 
veterans  would  be  lost  if  some  effort  were  not  made  to  pre- 
serve them,  I  began  in  1869  the  task  of  collecting  the  individ- 
ual records  of  all  who  went  from  Newburyport  or  served  to 
its  credit  during  the  war.  The  work  has  been  a  long  and 
continuous  one,  demanding  more  of  my  time  and  energy  than 
I  ever  dreamed  of  devoting  to  it;  and  yet  now  that  it  has 
been  completed,  and  the  records  placed  in  such  permanent 
form  as  to  insure  their  identity,  as  well  as  their  permanency 
for  the  future,  I  am  amply  repaid. 

In  a  work  involving  so  many  details,  it  would  be  singular 
indeed  if  errors  have  not  occurred,  but  I  feel  assured  that 
none  will  be  found  of  so  serious  a  character  that  in  the  future

b  PKEFACE. 

the  identity  of  the  veteran  will  not  be  clearly  established. 
The  record  of  the  individual  veteran  herein  presented  has 
been  verified  by  the  army  or  navy  discharge  papers,  or  the 
records  of  the  department.  In  many  instances  the  personal 
history  of  the  soldier  has  been  copied  from  the  company  or 
regimental  descriptive  book,  while  the  list  of  engagements 
accredited  have  either  been  taken  from  the  soldier's  discharge 
paper  or  confirmed  by  officers  of  the  company  to  which  he 
belonged. 

In  the  records  of  some  I  have  been  confronted  with  the 
official  report  of  "deserted;"  and  while  it  is  exceedingly  un- 
pleasant to  record  the  fact,  believing  that  in  some  instances 
it  may  have  been  an  error,  yet  I  can  pursue  no  other  course 
than  to  follow  the  records  of  the  War  Department,  presuming 
that  ere  this  the  veteran  would  have  succeeded  in  amending 
such  a  record  if  satisfactory  evidence  had  been  presented  to 
the  department  that  it  was  either  unjust  or  incorrect.  It 
will  be  found  that  in  some  cases  our  records  differ  from  the 
"Record  of  the  Massachusetts  Volunteers,"  as  well  as  from 
some  of  the  muster-rolls  on  file  at  the  adjutant-general's  office 
at  the  State  House,  in  the  spelling  of  names.  In  all  such 
instances,  the  corrections  made  have  been  verified  either  by 
the  signature  of  the  person  on  the  enlistment  or  muster-in 
rolls,  or  the  city  or  family  records.  Where  veterans  re-enlisted 
under  an  assumed  name,  or  in  anywise  changed  their  correct 
name,  both  their  army  and  correct  names  are  given. 

I  gratefully  acknowledge  my  indebtedness  to  all  who  have 
so  kindly  assisted  in  preparing  this  work.  To  the  late  Hon. 
William  H.  Huse  of  the  Newburj^port  Herald  and  a  member 
of  the  city  government  during  most  of  the  war  period,  I  feel 
particularly  indebted  for  much  valuable  information  and  en- 
couragement, and  for  a  complete  file  of  the  Herald  from  1861 
to  1865;  to  the  late  Gen.  James  A.  Cunningham,  Adjutant-

General  of  the  Commonwealth,  for  unusual  privileges  among 
the  documents  of  his  department;  to  Executive  Secretary 
Edward  F.  Hamlin  for  free  access  to  the  valuable  correspond- 
ence of  Governor  Andrew  during  the  years  of  the  war;  and  to 
the  present  Adjutant-General  of  the  State,  Gen.  Samuel 
Dalton,  and  those  connected  with  him  in  his  department,  for 
continued  favors  and  kind  assistance.  To  our  worthy  city 
clerk,  George  H.  Stevens,  who  has  for  so  many  years  be- 
friended me,  I  am  pleased  to  acknowledge  my  obligation  and 

to  express  my  gratitude.

INAUGURAL   ADDRESS   OF  MAYOR   DAVENPORT. 
CONDITION   OF  THE   COUNTRY. 

Clouds  and  darkness  are  hovering  over  this  glorious  Union  of  ours, 
and  seem  almost  ready  to  burst  upon  and  dissever  it.  The  people  have 
asseml)led  during  the  past  week  to  supplicate  the  Almighty  to  stay  the 
impending  danger:  and  it  is  well  in  times  like  these  to  invoke  the  aid 
of  a  power  mightier  than  man.  It  is  well  to  appeal  to  the  Almighty  to 
avert  the  terrible  evil  of  a  dissolution  of  the  Union  — this  splendid  Union 
which  excites  the  admiration  of  the  world.  Shall  it  be  rent  asunder? 
God  forliid.  Who  amongst  us  would  be  willing  to  close  their  eyes  for 
the  last  time  on  earth,  with  the  thought  tha^  they  were  to  meet  their 
sires  and  grandsires,  and  say  to  them,  "  We  have  done  all  we  could  to  de- 
stroy the  noble  v.ork  which  you  accomplished  at  so  much  sacrifice,  with 
so  much  blood?  "  ]\Iy  friends,  we  are  bound  as  a  people,  to  preserve  this 
Union,  even  at  the  sacrifice  of  our  best  blood. 

Let  us  as  patriots  and  Christians  make  all  reasonable  appeals  and 
sacrifices  to  the  South  for  the  purpose  of  perpetuating  tlie  union  of  these 
States.  Let  us  not  s\ibmit  to  the  loss  of  a  single  star  from  any  want  on 
our  part  to  do  justice  to  the  party  who  claim  to  be  aggrieved.  At  the 
same  time  let  us  ask  ourselves  if  we  are  willing  to  remain  quiet  and  suffer 
the  noble  work  which  our  forefathers  fought  for,  and  accomplished  by 
so  much  toil  and  suffering,  to  be  destroyed. 

RESOLUTIONS   BY   THE   CITY   GOVERNMENT  IN   RELATION   TO   THE 
APPROACHING   REBELLION. 

Governor  Andrew,  the  day  after  his  inauguration  as  gov- 
ernor, ordered  a  salute  of  one  hundred  guns  to  be  fired  in 
Boston,  and  a  national  salute  in  fifteen  other  cities  and  towns 
in  the  Commonwealth,  on  January  8th,  in  commemoration  of 
the  battle  of  New  Orleans,  and  in  honor  of  the  gallant  conduct 
and  wise  forethought  of  Major  Anderson  in  removing  his 
command  from  Fort  Moultrie  to  Fort  Sumter  in  the  harbor 
of  Charleston,  S.  C.  Newburyport  was  one  of  the  places  where 
a  salute  was  ordered  to  be  fired. 

Monday  evening,  January  7th,  the  following  was  introduced 
by  Alderman  Wm.  H.  Huse,  and  unanimously  adopted  by  the 
city  council. 

The  mayor  and  aldermen  having  been  ordered  by  His  Excellency, 
Governor  Andrew,  to  give  the  guns  in  their  care  to  Capt.  Nehemiah 
Fl.anders,  for  the  purpose  of  firing  a  national  salute  on  the  8th  inst.,  in 
honor  of  the  victory  of  General  Jackson  at  New  Orleans  in  1815.  and 
also  in  honor  of  the  recent  conduct  of  Major  Anderson  at  Charleston, 
S.C,  deem  this  a  proper  occasion  to  express  their  views:  therefore: 


12  NEWBUKYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAE,  1861. 

Resolved,  That  while  we  would  consider  all  the  complaints  made  by 
the  State  which  has  voted  secession,  and  by  the  other  States  which  con- 
template secession,  and  while  we  would  urge  upon  our  senators  and 
representatives  in  General  Court  to  repeal  the  Personal  Liberty  Law,  and 
upon  our  senators  and  representatives  in  Congress  to  propose  or  accept 
such  just  and  proper  compromises  as  shall  pacify  the  country,  we  adopt 
the  language  of  General  Jackson  —  "The  Union,  It  Must  and  Shall 
Be  Preserved!"  And  as  Newburyport  in  all  times  past  has  been  loyal 
to  government,  and  patriotic  in  the  support  of  law,  order,  and  liberty, 
so  will  she  again,  if  the  occasion  calls  for  it,  pledge  fortune,  life,  and  honor 
in  behalf  of  the  Constitution  and  the  Union  as  our  fathers  left  them. 

Resolved,  That  this  is  not  a  time  for  party  or  faction,  and  we  feel 
justified  in  calling  upon  all  our  fellow-citizens  to  forget  their  past  party 
predilections  and  merge  in  one  grand  Union  party,  where  faction  shall 
be  forgotten  in  country,  and  self  in  patriotism;  where  all  shall  study 
those  things  that  make  for  peace,  and  where  those  who  would  pluck  the 
mote  from  their  brother's  eye  will  not  forget  the  beam  in  their  own  ej'e. 

Resolved,  That  in  token  of  our  fealty  to  the  Union,  —  our  common 
country,  —  every  part  of  which.  North  and  South,  East  and  West,  is 
alike  dear  to  us,  and  alike  to  be  regarded  and  defended  in  their  interests 
and  rights,  we  hereby  order  the  city  messenger  to  hoist,  upon  a  flag-staff 
to  be  erected  on  the  City  Hall,  the  national  flag  —  with  its  thirteen 
stripes  and  thirty-three  stars  —  \ipon  every  fair  day  until  further  ordered. 

General  Schouler,  in  his  History  of  Massachusetts  in  the 
Civil  War,  says: 

These  resolutions  I  believe  to  have  been  the  first  adopted  by  any  city 
or  town  in  the  Commonwealth,  or  in  any  loyal  State,  having  relation  to 
the  approaching  rebellion. 

PREPARATION    BY    THE    STATE    MILITIA    FOR    ACTIVE    SERVICE. 

January  16th.  That  the  State  might  be  prepared  to  fur- 
nish her  quota  upon  any  requisition  made  by  the  President 
of  the  United  States  for  the  maintenance  of  law  and  the 
suppression  of  rebellion,  the  Governor  and  Commander-in- 
Chief  issued  General  Order  No.  4,  requiring  the  commanding 
officers  of  each  company  of  volunteer  militia  to  examine  the 
rolls  of  his  company  and  cause  the  name  of  each  member, 
with  his  rank  and  place  of  residence,  to  be  properly  recorded, 
and  a  copy  of  the  same  to  be  forwarded  to  the  office  of  the 
adjutant-general.  Also  that  they  forthwith  discharge  all  men 
in  their  commands,  who  from  age,  physical  defect,  business 
or  family  causes,  might  be  unable  or  indisposed  to  respond  at 
once  to  the  orders  of  the  governor.      That  if  any  company  had 


NEWBTJRYPOET   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1861.  13 

not  the  number  of  men  allowed  by  law,  the  commanding 
officer  should  at  once  cause  the  vacancies  to  be  filled,  and  the 
men  properly  drilled  and  uniformed,  that  they  might  be  ready 
for  any  exigency  whenever  called  upon. 

ACTION  BY  THE  GUSHING  GUARDS  IN  RELATION  TO  THE  ABOVE 

ORDER. 

February  2d.  Every  member  of  the  Gushing  Guards  was 
notified  to  meet  at  the  armory  (Saturday  evening)  "to  hear 
the  report  of  their  treasurer,  and  to  take  action  on  General 
Order  No.  4." 

The  meeting  was  full  and  enthusiastic,  many  of  the  older 
members  of  the  corps  being  in  attendance.  A  vote  was  passed 
"tendering  the  services  of  the  company  to  the  Commander- 
in-Chief  of  the  Massachusetts  Volunteer  Militia  if  called  upon 
to  do  active  duty,  and  authorizing  the  armory  to  be  opened  on 
every  Thursday  evening  until  further  notice." 

PREAMBLE  AND  RESOLUTIONS  INTRODUCED  BY  LIEUT.  GEORGE 
CREASEY  AND  ADOPTED  BY  THE  COMPANY. 

Whereas,  Agreeable  to  General  Order  No.  4,  we  have  assembled  under 
circumstances  of  extraordinarj^  peril  to  our  country,  not  as  citizens  only, 
but  as  citizen  soldiers  duly  enrolled  as  a  part  of  the  active  militia  force 
of  Massachusetts,  subject  at  all  times  to  the  orders  of  the  commander- 
in-chief  under  the  laws  of  the  State :  —  we  therefore,  acknowledging 
this  fact,  in  presence  of  the  alarming  condition  of  our  public  affairs, 
whether  having  their  origin  in  the  real  or  imaginary  wrongs  inflicted  by 
one  portion  of  our  country  upon  the  rights  and  institutions  of  the  other, 
or  instituted  by  the  treasonable  designs  of  internal  foes,  feel  it  to  be  a 
duty  we  owe  to  our  past  history  as  a  corps,  to  ourselves  and  kindred, 
to  our  city,  and  above  all  to  our  country,  to  sacrifice  all  party  feeling  and 
prejudice,  and  with  one  voice  declare  to  our  superior  officers  that  we  are 
ready  at  any  and  aU  times  to  march  in  defence  of  that  Union  as  a  nation, 
that  independence  as  a  people,  for  which  the  services  of  those  who  organ- 
ized this  corps  in  1778  was  devoted:  —  therefore 

Resolved,  That  the  commander  of  this  company  forthwith  forward 
to  headquarters  a  list  of  the  duly  enrolled  members  of  the  corps,  pledg- 
ing to  the  commander-in-chief  that  Company  A,  8th  Regiment,  will  hold 
themselves  ready  to  respond  to  any  order  coming  through  the  regular 
channel. 

Resolved,  That  the  commissioned  officers  be  directed  to  take  such 
immediate  action  as  shall  place  the  corps  in  proper  condition  to  meet 
any  emergency  that  may  arise. 


14  NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1861. 

March  2d.  Capt.  Nehemiah  Flanders  of  the  Gushing 
Guards  having  resigned  his  commission  as  captain,  1st  Lieut. 
Albert  W.  Bartlett  was  elected  commander. 

After  the  election  of  President  Lincoln  in  November,  1860, 
it  became  manifest  that  the  leading  men  of  the  South  not  only 
seriously  contemplated  but  had  fully  determined  to  secede 
from  the  national  government.  The  course  pursued  by  their 
representative  politicians  confirmed  the  belief  that  they  were 
secretly  preparing  to  contend  by  force  of  arms  for  the  estab- 
lishment of  a  separate  government  under  the  protection  of 
which  they  could  extend  and  enjoy  their  cherished  and  be- 
loved institution,  —  slavery. 

Massachusetts,  true  to  the  teaching  of  her  sires,  true  to 
herself  and  to  the  patriotism  of  her  sons,  did  not  hesitate  or 
falter;  but  few  days  elapsed  after  the  inauguration  of  Gov- 
ernor Andrew  before  active  measures  were  taken  to  put  the 
volunteer  militia,  then  numbering  5,593  men,  and  organized 
into  nine  regiments  and  three  battalions  of  infantry;  three 
battalions  and  eight  unattached  companies  of  riflemen;  one 
battalion  and  five  unattached  companies  of  cavalry, — into 
active  condition  and  ready  for  the  field. 

As  Massachusetts  was  foremost  in  preparing  to  support 
and  sustain  the  Union,  so  was  South  Carolina  foremost  in  at- 
tempts to  destroy  it.  The  demand  made  upon  Major  Anderson 
for  the  surrender  of  Fort  Sumter,  April  11th,  1861,  by  the 
Confederate  Government  through  General  Beauregard,  and  his 
noble  and  patriotic  reply,  "It  is  a  demand  with  which  I  re- 
gret that  my  sense  of  honor  and  my  obligations  to  my  gov- 
ernment prevent  my  compliance  ; "  the  opening  fire  by  all 
the  rebel  batteries  on  the  morning  of  the  12th  on  the  fort  ; 
the  spirit  and  bravery  with  which  the  little  garrison  re- 
sponded ;  the  ineffectual  attempt  of  the  Star  of  the  West  to  ren- 
der assistance ;  the  renewal  of  the  bombardment  on  the  13th, 
the  firing  of  hot  shot  by  the  rebels,  and  the  burning  of  the 
barracks  and  magazine  of  the  fort,  and  finally  the  evacuation 
by  Major  Anderson  and  his  heroic  command,  on  the  after- 
noon of  Sunday,  April  14th,  — created  the  most  intense  feeling 
among  the  people  of  the  North,  and  was  the  tocsin  of  war. 


NEWBURYPOKT   IN    THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1861.  15 

And  as  the  intelligence  was  announced  by  telegraph  there 
arose  one  common  sentiment  of  indignation  against  those  who 
had  commenced  the  conflict,  and  a  determination  in  the  hearts 
of  the  loyal  North  to  maintain  the  unity  and  the  authority 
of  the  national  government. 

The  Daily  Herald  of  the  15th,  in  an  article  on  the  "im- 
pending crisis,"  said: 

It  would  have  pleased  us,  if  measures  had  been  taken  to  call  a  Na- 
tional Convention  fresh  from  the  people  to  consult  and  act,  for,  as  yet, 
the  people  have  not  spoken,  and  the  sense  of  the  nation  is  not  known. 
After  all  means  of  peace  were  exhausted,  we  should  not  oppose  war; 
nay,  if  the  unity  of  the  country  demanded  it,  we  would  hail  its  red  face 
and  thundering  voice  with  gladness.  But  so  it  could  not  be,  and  they 
have  chosen  to  fight  first.  Very  well,  fight  let  it  be,  then,  and  let  the 
guns  of  Sumter  unite  us  all.  Lay  on!  let  the  cannon  roar!  let  swords 
and  bayonets  gleam  wherever  the  sun  shall  shine,  and  the  strongest  party 
shall  win.  Our  motto  is,  "Our  country,  right  or  wrong,"  and  if  it  can't 
be  our  whole  country,  then  for  that  section  do  we  go  in  which  we  live; 
and  since  thej^  determine  to  show  us  that  there  is  a  government  in  these 
States,  and  the  battle  must  be  fought  to  its  bitter  end,  let  it  be  fought 
with  spirit  and  determination.  When  we  enter  upon  a  war,  honor  and 
humanity  demand  that  we  should  make  it  as  short  as  possible.  There 
can  be  no  doubt  that  the  free  States,  numbering  two  to  one  of  all  the 
South  in  population  and  having  abundant  wealth  and  credit,  must  con- 
quer; and  the  more  forcibly  and  the  more  expeditiou.sly  we  move,  the 
better.  Let  Mr.  Lincoln  call  for  a  hundred  thousand  men  as  soon  as  the 
railroads  can  carry  them  to  the  nearest  point  of  action,  to  be  followed 
by  another  hundred  thousand,  as  soon  as  they  can  be  mustered;  and  a 
third  hundred  thousand  to  stand  in  reserve.  If  we  are  to  fight  to  the 
subjugation  of  our  opponents,  the)^  will  all  be  needed,  and  if  we  are  to 
negotiate  hereafter,  it  must  be  done  on  the  drum-head. 

FIRST   CALL   FOR   TROOPS. 

On  the  15th  day  of  April,  1861,  but  twenty-four  hours 
after  the  surrender  of  Fort  Sumter,  and  the  day  of  the  issuing 
of  the  proclamation  by  President  Lincoln  calling  for  75,000 
volunteers,  the  active  participation  of  Newburyport  in  oppos- 
ing the  rebellion  began. 

On  that  day  the  field  and  staff  officers  of  the  various  regi- 
ments of  the  Massachusetts  Volunteer  Militia  in  the  vicinity 
of  Boston  met  in  council  at  the  governor's  room  at  the  State 
House.  After  discussing  the  condition  and  efficiency  of  the 
militia,  the  movement  of  troops,  etc.,  the  governor  proposed 


16  NBWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1861. 

to  the  representative  of  each  regiment  this  question:  "How 
much  time  does  your  regiment  require  to  be  ready  for  active 
service?"  The  reply  given  by  General  Hinks,  who  at  that 
time  was  adjutant  of  the  8th  Regiment  and  its  representative 
at  the  council,  was,  "The  8th  Regiment  will  report  in  Boston 
to-morrow  morning  if  ordered."  To  which  the  governor  rephed, 
"That  is  what  we  desire.  You  can  order  them  to  report  at 
Faneuil  Hall." 

GUSHING   GUARDS   ORDERED    OUT. 

Late  in  the  afternoon  of  the  15th,  Mr.  John  T.  Brown 
delivered  to  Captain  Bartlett  a  telegraphic  order  from  regi- 
mental headquarters,  which  was  as  follows: 

Lynn,  April  15th,  1861. 
Captain  Albert  W.  Bartlett, 

Commanding  Company  A. 
The  8th  Regiment  is  ordered  to  march  to  the  defence  of  the  capital. 
Will  rendezvous  in  Faneuil  Hall  to-morrow.     How  many  men  will  you 
muster? 

(Signed)       Edward  W.  Hinks,  Adjutant. 

This  order  was  duplicated,  and  intrusted  to  Mr.  Edward 
S.  Toppan,  who  subsequently  delivered  it  to  Captain  Bartlett, 
who  notified  in  person  the  members  of  the  company  and  sum- 
moned them  to  appear  at  the  armory  ready  for  duty  the 
following  morning.  The  news  that  the  company  had  been 
called  for  by  the  governor  created  great  excitement  in  the 
city.  The  call  was  the  call  of  the  country,  and  those  who 
were  to  respond  to  it  had  but  little  time  to  arrange  business 
affairs  and  be  ready  for  the  cars  at  the  appointed  time.  Dur- 
ing the  evening  State  Street  was  crowded  with  people,  and  at 
the  armory  all  was  life  and  activity.  Most  of  the  members 
of  the  Cushing  Guards  were  mechanics  —  many  had  families 
to  leave  behind  dependent  upon  their  labor  for  support.  The 
call  was  sudden.  The  question  between  duty  to  their  coun- 
try and  duty  to  their  wives  and  children  was  presented. 
With  some  it  was  answered  promptly,  and  if  others  delayed 
for  the  moment  it  was  only  to  be  assured  that  those  they  left 
behind  should  not  become  paupers  upon  the  city.  The  city 
government  was  in  session  on  that  evening.     Captain  Bart- 


NEWBURYPORT   EST   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1861.  17 

lett  with  the  officers  of  his  company  waited  upon  the  mayor, 
stated  the  condition  under  which  many  of  the  members  were 
placed,  and  urged  such  action  as  would  enable  the  company 
to  maintain  its  ancient  reputation,  and  the  city  to  preserve 
its  honor.  Most  nobly  did  the  city  council  respond.  With 
but  one  dissenting  vote  this  order  was  passed: 

As  many  of  our  citizens  have  been  called  into  the  military  service 
of  the  United  States,  that  one  thousand  doUars  be  appropriated  for  such 
support  as  their  respective  famiUes  may  need  during  their  absence. 

After  the  adoption  of  the  order  the  mayor  and  aldermen 
visited  the  armory,  made  known  the  fact,  and  assured  the 
company  that  when  that  was  expended  more  would  be  appro- 
priated. 

DEPARTURE    OF   THE    GUSHING    GUARDS. 

April  16th  (Tuesday).  It  was  the  purpose  of  Captain 
Bartlett  to  have  left  on  the  eight  o'clock  train,  but  as  many 
of  the  men  required  more  time  to  arrange  their  business 
afifairs,  twelve  o'clock  was  the  time  appointed.  There  would 
have  been  no  difficulty  in  filling  the  company  with  recruits  at 
any  time  after  the  receipt  of  the  order  calling  them  into  active 
service.  Many  were  wilhng  and  anxious  to  go,  but  Captain 
Bartlett,  considering  General  Order  No.  4,  issued  January  16th, 
to  apply  only  to  those  who  had  been  enrolled  and  returned 
as  members  of  the  company,  telegraphed  to  the  adjutant- 
general  for  permission  to  fill  his  company  with  volunteers. 
The  answer  came,  "Come  with  what  you  have." 

At  a  few  minutes  before  twelve,  in  the  midst  of  a  cold  and 
cheerless  rain  storm,  the  small  company  of  patriots,  for  such 
their  promptness  and  determination  had  proved  them  to  be, 
left  the  armory  for  the  depot.  The  rain  and  sleet  was  faUing 
fast,  but  bravely  and  firmly  they  marched  to  the  music  of  the 
fife  and  drum.  But  few  cheers  were  given,  and  hardly  a  word 
was  spoken  by  the  hundreds  who  had  gathered  to  witness 
their  departure.  At  twelve  o'clock  they  left  for  Boston,  not 
knowing  or  fearing  the  duties  they  might  be  called  to  perform 
for  the  honor  and  protection  of  the  National  Capitol.

Captain  Bartlett  sent  to  have  twenty  additional  men  enrolled 
for  the  company.  Immediately  the  armory  was  opened,  and 
in  less  than  three  hours  all  the  uniforms  were  filled. 

INCREASED  MILITARY  ENTHUSIASM.      DEPARTURE  OF  ADDITIONAL 
VOLUNTEERS    FOR   THE    GUSHING    GUARDS. 

April  18th  (Thursday).     The  Herald  says: 

This  was  the  greatest  day  for  military  enthusiasm  that  Newbury- 
port  ever  saw.  We  have  no  words  to  convey  an  impression  of  the  deep 
feeUng  that  pervaded,  and  does  now  pervade,  the  people  of  this  com- 
munity. Little  business  was  attended  to.  Men  stopped  from  their  avo- 
cations and  pursuits  to  think  of  the  state  of  the  country;  and  the  more 
they  thought  the  more  their  souls  burned  for  the  restoration  of  peace, 
harmony,  and  union;  and  the  more  they  determined  that  the  govern- 
ment should  be  maintained  in  its  integrity  and  full  powers  in  every  State 
over  which  the  Stars  and  Stripes  have  ever  waved. 

*  In  a  lecture  delivered  by  Chaplain  Samuel  J.  Spalding,  at  City  Hall,  May  29tli, 
1869,  at  the  request  of  A.  W.  Bartlett,  Post  49  G.A.R.  of  this  city,  entitled,  "  Newbury- 
port  in  the  Rebellion,"  much  of  the  material,  including  the  names  of  those  who  were 
the  first  to  leave  the  city  on  the  morning  of  April  16th,  1861,  was  furnished  by  the 
writer.  The  list  was  subsequently  found  to  be  inaccurate.  The  names  given  above  are 
correct. 


NEWBURYPORT    IN   THE    CIVIL   WAR,  1861.  19 

At  eight  o'clock  twenty-one  (21)  men  in  charge  of  Capt. 
Nehemiah  Flanders,  and  escorted  by  the  Newburyport  Brass 
Band,  left  for  Boston  to  join  the  Gushing  Guards.  At  ten 
o'clock  others  left,  and  at  twelve  between  thirty  and  forty 
more,  so  that  nearly  seventy  men  must  have  left  the  city 
during  the  day  to  join  the  8th  Regiment. 

The  Gushing  Guards,  as  a  part  of  the  8th  Regiment,  M.  V.  M., 
left  Boston  April  18th  for  Washington,  where,  after  liberating 
the  frigate  Constitution  at  Annapolis,  and  repairing  the  road- 
bed and  engines  of  the  Annapolis  &  Elkridge  R.R.,  they 
arrived  April  26th,  having  opened  communications  between 
Washington  and  the  North.

At  ten  o'clock  in  the  morning,  Mr.  Charles  H.  Coffin  com- 
menced the  circulation  of  a  paper  for  subscriptions  to  form  a 
new  military  company  and  aid  their  families  while  in  the 
service.  So  ready  and  willing  were  the  citizens  to  subscribe, 
that  in  a  few  hours  forty-two  hundred  dollars  were  raised,  and 
the  names  of  nearly  fifty  volunteers  for  the  new  company 
obtained. 

ORGANIZATION    OF    THE    NATIONAL    GUARDS,    SUBSEQUENTLY 

COMPANY    B,   40th    NEW   YORK   INFANTRY 

(mOZART)    REGIMENT. 

The  second  day  after  the  departure  of  the  Cushing  Guards, 
the  formation  of  a  new  company  was  commenced  by  Mr. 
Charles  H.  Coffin,  a  merchant  of  our  city,  and  the  then  city 
marshal,  James  P.  L.  Westcott.  The  company  was  organized 
as  a  part  of  the  militia  of  the  State  to  be  ready  for  active 
duty  within  thirty  days  if  called  for  by  the  governor.  The 
first  enlistments  for  this  company  were  at  the  armory  of  the 
Cushing  Guards  on  State  Street,  and  so  desirous  were  the 
young  men  of  our  city  to  prove  their  patriotism  and  valor 
that  within  forty-eight  hours  from  the  first  enrollment  the 
company  was  full. 

The  city  government,  and  very  many  of  our  leading  citi- 
zens, were  particularly  interested  in  its  organization.  Money 
was  liberally  subscribed,  and  neither  time  nor  expense  was 
spared  to  make  it  one  of  the  best  companies  in  the  State. 


NEWBUKYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1861.  21 

Clothing  for  uniforms  was  contributed  by  Boston  men,  former 
residents  of  the  city,  and  in  the  Herald  of  April  22d  was 
published  the  following  call: 

The  ladies  are  asking,  as  in  the  days  of  the  Revolution,  "  What  can 
we  do  for  our  country,  for  libert}'',  for  those  who  are  to  risk  their  lives 
in  defence  of  all  that  is  dear  to  us?"  I  will  tell  you.  We  want  made 
this  week,  sixty-eight  military  coats  and  sixty-eight  pairs  of  pants.  Those 
having  sewing-machines  suited  to  heavy  work,  those  who  will  contribute 
money  to  pay  for  tailoresses  to  oversee  the  work,  and  those  who  are 
walling  to  work  under  the  direction  of  these  persons,  will  please  leave 
their  names  at  my  house,  128  High  Street,  or  office  corner  of  Water 
Street  and  Cushing's  Wharf. 

(Signed)  Chaeles  H.  Coffin, 

This  call  was  promptly  responded  to  by  a  large  number  of 
ladies,  who  met  at  the  vestry  of  the  Whitefield  Church  on 
State  Street,  where  the  making  of  uniforms  and  other  clothing 
for  the  company  was  carried  on. 


ELECTION    OF   OFFICERS    BY    THE    COMPANY, 

April  25th.  At  a  meeting  of  the  company  for  the  election 
of  officers,  and  by  direction  of  the  Governor,  presided  over  by 
Mayor  George  W.  Jackman,  Jr.,  James  P.  L,  Westcott  was 
elected  Captain;  William  D.  Foster,  1st  Lieutenant;  Benjamin 
R.  Knapp,  2d  Lieutenant;  WiUiam  J.  Creasey,  3d  Lieutenant; 
and  Robinson  N.  Shuff,  4th  Lieutenant. 


CONTRIBUTION    OF  MONEY  BY   THE    PUPILS   OF   THE   PUTNAM 
FREE    SCHOOL. 

April  27th.  The  pupils  of  the  Putnam  Free  School  hav- 
ing contributed  to  the  company  a  sum  of  money,  Captain 
Westcott  addressed  them  the  following  letter : 

Armory  of  the  Gushing  Guards, 
Saturday  Evening,  April  27th,  1861. 
To  THE  Young  Ladies  op  the  Putnam  Free  School: 

We  cheerfully  and  kindly  acknowledge  the  receipt  of  twenty  dollars, 
a  donation  from  them  to  be  expended  for  the  benefit  of  the  soldiers  under 


22  NEWBURYPORT    IN    THE    CIVIL    WAR,  1861. 

my  command  in  such  a  manner  as  may  be  deemed  best.  This  donation 
is  more  cheerfully  received,  it  being  a  part  of  the  money  raised  for  the 
purchase  of  the  beautiful  flag,  which  was  the  first  one  thrown  to  the 
breeze  from  the  school-buildings  in  this  city.  That  flag  we  have  sworn 
to  protect,  and  God  helping  us  we  will,  so  long  as  life  shall  last. 
In  behalf  of  the  Volunteers, 

J.viiES  P.  L.  Westcott,  Commander. 

ARMING    OF   THE    COMPANY   WITH    COLt's   REVOLVING   RIFLES   BY 

THE    CITY. 

May  2d.  The  city  council  held  a  special  meeting  to  take 
measures  for  arming  the  National  Guards.  An  order  intro- 
duced by  Alderman  Isaac  Hale,  Jr.,  was  unanimously  adopted 
by  both  branches  of  the  city  government: 

That  the  mayor  be  a  committee  to  provide  for  and  on  account  of 
the  city  one  of  Colt's  revolving  rifles,  with  sabre  bayonet,  for  the  use  of 
each  member  of  the  volunteer  company  in  this  city  now  under  the  com- 
mand of  Capt.  James  P.  L.  Westcott. 

Mmj  20th.     The  mayor,  to  whom  was  referred  the  purchas- 
ing of  the  rifles,  reported  to  the  city  council  that : 

On  the  third  day  of  the  present  month  your  committee  went  to 
Boston  for  the  purpose  of  purchasing  the  rifles,  agreeably  to  the  order, 
first  calling  upon  the  adjutant-general  of  the  Commonwealth,  and  making 
such  inquiries  of  him  relative  to  the  use  of  said  arms  by  an  infantry 
company,  and  further,  whether  it  would  prevent  said  corps  from  being 
joined  to  the  8th  Regiment  of  this  State,  or  whether  by  the  purchase  of 
the  same  (one  of  the  rifles  being  present  and  fully  examined  by  himself 
and  many  other  military  gentlemen)  it  would  in  any  way  prevent  the 
company  being  called  upon  to  do  duty  in  defence  of  the  United  States 
Government. 

The  answer  of  the  adjutant-general  was,  that  there  was  nothing  in 
the  purchasing  of  the  rifles  that  would  prevent  their  using  them,  or  being 
joined  to  the  8th  Regiment,  except  that  the  Sth  Regiment  was  full,  and 
he  advised  me  by  all  means  not  to  return  to  Newburyport  without  pur- 
chasing them  if  I  had  authority  so  to  do. 

(Since  that  time  I  understand  that  the  company  has  been  attached 
to  the  8th  Regiment,  but  will  not  be  sent  forward  until  that  regiment 
has  taken  the  oath  to  serve  for  the  term  of  three  years,  which  the>'  have 
not  yet  done.)

THE  COMPANY  PRESENTED  WITH  BIBLES  AT  THE  HARRIS  STREET 

CHURCH. 

May  5th  (Sunday).  At  many  of  the  churches  this  after- 
noon the  pastors  preached  eloquent  and  patriotic  sermons. 
At  the  Harris  Street  Church,  Rev.  James  Cruickshanks  preached 
from  the  text  "Render  unto  Csesar,"  after  which  he  pre- 
sented each  member  of  the  National  Guards  with  a  small 
pocket  Bible  to  be  carried  with  them  in  the  service.  The 
church  was  appropriately  decorated  with  American  flags,  and 
the  choir  sang  the  "Star-Spangled  Banner,"  closing  the  ser- 
vices with  "America." 


CAPTAIN    WESTCOTT    NOTIFIES    THE    GOVERNOR    THAT    THE 
COMPANY   IS   READY   FOR    DUTY. 

May  Qth.  The  organization  of  the  company  being  com- 
plete, and  the  rifles  furnished  by  the  city  received,  Captain 
Westcott  addressed  the  governor: 


Newburyport,  May  6th,  1861. 
To  His  Excellency,  John  A.  Andrew, 

Governor  and  Commander-in-Chief  of  Commonivealth  of  Massachusetla: 
Dear  Sir,  —  The  newly  organized  company  of  volunteers  known  as 
the  Newburj'^port  National  Guards  are  a  picked  body  of  men  selected 
from  three  hundred  and  thirty  applicants.  They  have  met  eA-ery  day 
and  evening  for  drill  for  the  last  three  weeks,  having  no  encouragement 
other  than  the  hope  that  they  are  to  be  ordered  for  duty  within  a  few 
days.  The  company  will  have  uniforms  complete  on  Thursday  the  9th 
inst.  They  are  armed  with  Colt's  revolving  rifles,  army  size.  The  cir- 
cumstances of  the  men  will  not  permit  them  much  longer  to  i-emain 
without  employment. 

What  encouragement  can  you  give  me  that  we  shall  be  ordered  soon? 
It  was  hoped  that  we  should  be  attached  to  the  8th  Regiment  now  in 
Washington,  that  being,  as  I  am  informed,  the  expressed  wish  and  desire 
of  that  regiment.  Please  confer  with  the  adjutant-general  and  forward 
as  early  an  answer  as  convenient,  and  oblige, 
Yours,  etc., 

James  P.  L.  Westcott, 
Captain  Newburyport  National  Guards.

Capt.  James  P.  L.  Westcott, 

Newburyport  National  Guards  : 

Sir,  —  Your  favor  of  May  6th  is  received.     Are  you  disposed  to  enlist 

for  three  years  or  for  the  war?     How  soon  can  you  go?     An  early  an- 


swer is  desired  for  my  advice. 


Yours  faithfully, 

John  A.  Andrew,  Governor. 


CAPTAIN    WESTCOTT   TO    GOVERNOR    ANDREW. 

Newburyport,  May  10th,  1861. 
To  His  Excellency,  John  A.  Andrew, 

Governor  of  the  Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts: 

Dear  Sir,  —  Yours  under  date  of  May  7th  is  just  re  ceived.  In  reply 
I  have  to  say  that  when  my  company  enlisted  they  were  to  be  in  service 
for  one  year.  I  understand  from  Mr.  Stone  and  Colonel  Coffin  that  they 
had  an  interview  -with  you  on  the  8th,  at  which  time  you  determined 
to  attach  us  to  the  8th  Regiment  now  in  Washington.  Cannot  we,  being 
a  part  of  that  regiment,  be  ordered  under  the  first  call?  I  have  no  doubt 
that  after  the  company  arrives  at  Washington  they  will  every  man  of 
them  be  willing  to  enlist  for  three  years  or  for  the  war,  as  that  will  be 
my  wish.  But  as  they  have  enlisted  under  the  first  call,  I  should  not 
desire  to  put  the  question  to  them  at  present,  but  am  satisfied  they  will 
act  with  the  Eighth,  and  have  no  doubt  that  should  part  of  that  regiment 
desire  to  return,  my  company  would  attach  themselves  to  some  other 
for  the  war. 

Mr.  Stone  will  see  you  to-morrow  and  communicate  with  j^ou  more 
fully.     We  can  be  ready  and  report  at  Boston  on  Thursday  morning. 
Yours  truly, 

James  P.  L.  Westcott, 
Commanding  Company  National  Guards. 


There  seems  to  have  been  a  desire  to  attach  the  company 
to  the  8th  Regiment,  and  at  an  interview  between  the  gov- 
ernor, Hon.  Eben  F.  Stone,  and  Col.  F.  J.  Coffin,  it  was  deter- 
mined upon.  From  communications  received  from  officers  in 
the  regiment  it  appears  that  the  impression  with  them  was 
that  the  company  was  to  be  forwarded  to  that  command. 
May  11th,  Mayor  Jackman  received  this  telegram:

Captain  Bartlett  has  written  to  you  to-day.     He  is  supplied  with

Captain  Bartlett,  in  a  letter  to  the  mayor  dated  May  11th, 
says: 

By  a  letter  received  to-day  from  an  officer  of  the  new  company,  I 
am  informed  that  the  State  cannot  at  present  furnish  equipments  for 
their  company,  and  as  they  are  attached  to  the  8th  Regiment  I  would 
recommend  that,  as  my  command  will  not  be  of  any  expense  to  the  city, 
that  the  city  council  furnish  Captain  Westcott's  company  with  equip- 
ments that  they  may  join  their  regiment.

OFFICIAL  COMMUNICATION  FROM  MAYOR  JACKMAN,  RECOMMEND- 
ING  AID    TO    THE    VOLUNTEERS. 
To  THE  City  Council  of  the  City  of  Newburyport: 

Gentlemen,  —  I  have  been  repeatedly  called  upon  for  aid  within 
the  past  two  weeks  by  members  of  the  two  volunteer  companies  now  in 
this  city.  My  answer  thus  far  has  been,  that  I  could  do  nothing  for 
them,  there  being  no  money  appropriated  for  that  purpose,  and  I  having 
no  authority  to  take  money  from  the  City  Treasury  for  any  such  object. 

Many  of  them  say  that  it  is  impossible  for  them  to  subsist  and  at- 
tend to  their  drill  duties  without  aid  in  some  way.  It  is  apparent  to 
me  that  something  should  be  done  at  once  to  relieve  their  immediate 
wants,  at  any  rate  until  such  time  as  they  shall  be  mustered  into  the 
service  of  the  government,  either  State  or  National. 

I  am  aware  that  there  has  been  a  large  sum  of  money  subscribed 
by  the  citizens,  for  the  equipment  and  support  of  these  men  and  their 
families;  but  when  and  how  that  monej'-  is  to  be  distributed  or  used,  I 
do  not  know.  I  cannot,  however,  see  the  difference  in  supporting  these 
men  and  their  families  now  from  that  fund,  or  supporting  their  families 
after  the  men  have  gone.  It  is  necessary  in  either  case  that  they  should 
have  something  to  eat,  to  be  paid  for  out  of  that  subscription,  or  from 
some  other  source.  I  believe  it  to  be  merely  a  matter  of  time  as  to  the 
use  of  that  fund,  for  I  am  fully  impressed  that  it  will  take  much  more 
than  that  sum  to  relieve  the  wants  of  our  soldiers  before  this  great  na- 
tional question  is  settled.  If  that  should  be  used  now,  the  city  will  un- 
doubtedly have  to  assist  them  hereafter;  and  if  the  city  should  now 
render  assistance  to  these  families,  then  that  fund  will  come  in  course 
and  do  good  service. 

I  would,  therefore,  recommend  that  the  city  council  make  an  appro- 
priation sufficient  to  allow  these  men,  who  are  now  enlisted  in  Captain 
Westcott's  company,  and  the  one  which  has  been  raised  by  Captain 
Remick,  who  are  in  need  of  the  same,  an  allowance  of  three  dollars  per 
week  in  groceries,  where  they  have  a  family,  and  to  pay  the  board  of 
those  men  who  have  no  family.  In  both  cases  to  continue  for  the  space 
of  thirty  days  from  the  date  hereof,  unless  the  companies  should  be 
called  away  before  that  time.         Respectfully  submitted, 

Newburyport,  Geo.  W.  Jackman,  Jr.,  Mayor.

THE  CITY  GOVERNMENT  VOTES  TO  ASSIST  THE  VOLUNTEERS. 

May  20th.  An  order  introduced  by  Alderman  George  J. 
George,  recommending  assistance  to  the  volunteer  companies 
of  Captains  Westcott  and  Remick  of  three  dollars  per  week  to 
those  who  had  families,  and  board  for  those  who  had  not,  who 
were  in  need  of  such  assistance,  for  thirty  days  unless  sooner 
called  into  ser\dce,  was  unanimously  adopted  by  the  city 
council. 

THE    NATIONAL    GUARDS   VISIT   BOSTON. 

Newburyport,  May  22cl,  1861. 
To  His  Excellency,  Governor  Andrew, 
Comviander-in-Ch  ief: 
Sir,  —  The  National  Guards  of  this  city  will  make  a  fljang  visit  to 
lioston  to-morrow,  Thursday.     Will  be  in  front  of  the  State  House  at 
10.30  A.M.     Would  be  pleased  to  have  your  Excellency  review  the  same. 
Respectfully  your  obedient  servant, 

James  P.  L.  Westcott,  Commander. 

The  company  was  received  by  the  governor  and  other 
military  men  at  the  appointed  time.  The  Boston  Journal, 
speaking  of  their  visit,  said: 

The  National  Guards  of  Newburyport,  Capt.  James  P.  L.  Westcott, 
arrived  in  this  city  this  forenoon,  accompanied  by  the  Newburyport 
Band,  and  numbered  about  seventy  muskets.  They  made  a  fine  appear- 
ance, and  on  marching  up  State  Street  they  went  through  the  movements 
of  forming  a  hollow  square  and  repelling  cavalry  in  a  highly  creditable 
manner. 

CALL  FOR  THREE  YEARS'  TROOPS. 

Permission  having  been  granted  the  State  to  raise  six 
regiments  of  infantry  for  three  years'  service,  the  governor, 
on  the  22d  of  May,  issued  General  Order  No.  12.  This 
order  stated  that  "  all  companies  of  the  Massachusetts  Vol- 
unteer Mihtia  which  may  desire  to  volunteer  to  serve  as  part 
of  the  above  force  will  make  immediate  application  in  writing 
to  the  commander-in-chief  through  the  adjutant-general. 
From  the  companies  thus  applying,  a  sufficient  number  will 
be  selected  to  form  the  six  regiments  assigned  to  this  State."

FOR    SERVICE    IN    THE    BROOKLYN    PHALANX. 

No  reply  having  been  received  to  the  dispatch  of  Captain 
Westcott  to  the  governor  dated  the  13th  after  the  promulga- 
tion of  General  Order  No.  12,  he,  in  company  with  Hon. 
Eben  F.  Stone,  visited  the  governor  to  see  if  the  company 
could  not  be  received  under  that  order.  To  them  assurances 
were  given  that  the  company  should  be  attached  to  one  of 
the  regiments  then  forming,  or  be  sent  to  camp  of  instruction, 
within  three  days.  Before  the  expiration  of  the  time  specified, 
the  governor  telegraphed  to  Captain  Westcott:

ceived into  the  Brooklyn  Phalanx  and  go  into  active  service  immediately. 

Reply  at  once  whether  ready. 

John  A.  Andrew,  Governor. 

To  this  Captain  Westcott  immediately  replied,  "Ready."

Sir,  —  The  commander-in-chief  hereby  grants  to  you  and  your  com- 
mand permission  to  report  for  active  service  to  the  commander  of  the

DEPARTURE   OF  THE   NATIONAL   GUARDS   FOR   BROOKLYN,  N.Y. 

The  company  was  anxious  for  active  duty.  They  had 
been  organized  nearly  six  weeks,  and  had  devoted  the  entire 
time  to  drill  and  preparation  under  the  direction  of  Capt. 


KEWBUEYPOET    IN    THE    CIVIL    WAR,  1861.  29 

Nehemiah  Flanders.  They  were  armed  with  what  was  sup- 
posed to  have  been  the  most  serviceable  rifle  at  a  cost  to  the 
city  of  three  thousand  six  hundred  dollars.  The  officers  were 
presented  with  arms  and  equipments,  and  the  men  were  each 
provided  with  two  uniforms,  one  for  parade  and  the  other  for 
fatigue  duty.  Between  seven  and  eight  thousand  dollars  had 
been  expended  by  the  city  and  the  citizens  to  prepare  the 
company  for  the  field. 

On  Friday  morning,  May  31st,  the  city  was  alive  to  see 
them  depart.  The  armory  was  crowded  with  friends ;  and 
before  leaving.  Rev.  Randolph  Campbell,  who  was  present, 
earnestly  invoked  divine  blessing  upon  the  men  who  were  to 
march  in  defence  of  the  government.  Dr.  Henry  C.  Perkins 
gave  them  very  useful  advice  on  the  manner  of  living  and 
preserving  health ;  and  General  Gushing,  on  being  called, 
spoke  eloquently  in  support  of  the  Union  and  the  govern- 
ment, urging  them  to  stand  by  each  other  in  defence  of  the 
Stars  and  Stripes,  and  assuring  them  that  victory  and  success 
were  certain  to  follow.  Messrs.  David  Wood  and  Isaac  H. 
Boardman  of  the  committee  of  the  Volunteer  Fund  promised 
the  men  that  their  families  would  be  provided  for  during  their 
absence.  They  left  the  city  by  the  Eastern  R.R.  at  10 
A.M.,  amid  the  cheers  of  the  thousands  who  had  assembled 
to  bid  them  God  speed. 

The  dispatch  from  Governor  Andrew  to  Captain  Westcott, 
dated  May  29th,  was  prompted  by  the  following,  received  by 
him  from  a  son  of  Rev.  Henry  Ward  Beecher,  who  was  con- 
nected with  the  intended  regiment. 

New  Yokk,  Maj^  29  th,  1861. 
Governor  Andrew: 

If  the  Woburn,  Milford,   and  Newburyport   Companies  are  willing, 

and  can  be  here  by  Saturday  morning,  they  can   be  received  into  the 

Brooklyn  Phalanx,  which  is    received,  and  will   go  into    active  service 

immediately. 

(Signed)     H.  B.  Beecher,  Brooklyn. 

The  New  York  Courier  and  Enquirer  of  the  same  date  says : 

The  Brooklj-n  Phalanx  will  be  ready.  Inspection  has  been  ordered 
by  the  Union  Defence  Committee  on  Saturday,  when  they  will  present  a 
full  complement  of  men. 


30  ITEWBUKYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1861. 

The  National  Guards  with  the  other  Massachusetts  com- 
panies on  their  arrival  in  New  York  Saturday  morning  were 
received  by  the  officers  of  the  regiment  and  a  committee  of 
citizens,  and  for  a  time  quartered  at  the  Astor  House.  An 
inspection  of  the  regiment  had  been  ordered  by  the  colonel  to 
take  place  in  Brooklyn  at  four  o'clock  the  same  afternoon  ; 
and  when  the  time  arrived,  the  three  Massachusetts  companies 
were  the  only  organizations  present,  excepting  two  skeleton 
companies,  both  numbering  less  than  sixty  men.  A  consulta- 
tion of  the  Massachusetts  officers  was  held,  and  it  was  decided 
that  in  view  of  the  misrepresentations  made  and  the  apparent 
condition  of  the  regiment,  the  best  course  for  them  to  pursue 
was  to  return  home.  The  colonel,  however,  prevailed  upon 
them  to  remain  a  short  time  longer,  stating  that  the  Rev. 
Henry  Ward  Beecher  had  gone  to  Washington,  and  would  see 
that  they  were  at  once  mustered  into  service. 

GOVERNOR  ANDREW  ORDERS  THE  COMPANY  TO  RETURN  TO 
MASSACHUSETTS. 

June  3d.  Governor  Andrew  telegraphed  to  Mr.  Frank  E. 
Howe,  Agent  of  Massachusetts  in  New  York: 

Brooklyn  must  prepare  to  return  our  three  companies.  We  have 
incurred  expense,  raised  hopes,  and  Brooklyn  has  cruelly  misled,  disap- 
pointed, and  mortified  us. 

Mr.  Howe  replied  by  letter,  saying: 

I  went  immediately  to  Brooklyn.  The  first  person  I  saw  was  Cap- 
tain Westcott  of  the  Newburyport  National  Guards,  who  seemed  to  regret 
the  tenor  of  the  dispatch,  although  expressed  his  loyalty  in  strong  terms, 
and  willingness  to  return  with  his  command  at  that  moment.  His  only 
regret  seemed  to  be  that  the  Brooklyn  people,  officers  and  all,  should  be 
censured  when  he  felt  they  were  doing  their  best.  I  talked  with  the 
men  vmder  his  command,  all  of  whom  seemed  contented. 

The  three  companies  returned  to  Boston,  arriving  on  the 
morning  of  June  5th,  and  breakfasted  at  the  American  House, 
after  which  they  were  dismissed  until  twelve  o'clock,  when 
they  were  to  assemble  to  hear  the  report  of  the  officers,  who 
in  the  meantime  had  reported  at  headquarters,  where  they  had 
a  conference  with  Adjutant-General  Schouler  and  Quartermas- 


KEWBURYPOET   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1861.  31 

ter-General  Reed.  Captain  Westcott  stated  that  having  been 
months  in  constant  drill  and  discipline  at  their  own  expense, 
his  company  felt  that  they  ought  to  be  immediately  employed. 
General  Reed  laid  the  matter  before  the  governor,  and  re- 
ported that  the  desire  of  his  Excellency  was  that  the  compa- 
nies return  to  their  homes,  and  disband.  To  this  Captain 
Westcott  rephed  that  his  company  had  been  formed  for  ser- 
vice in  defence  of  the  government,  and  they  did  not  propose 
to  disband,  but  were  determined  to  seek  active  service.  It 
was  finally  agreed  to  furnish  quarters  and  subsistence  for  the 
men  at  Fort  Warren,  and  transportation  for  the  officers  back 
to  New  York  that  they  might  complete  arrangements,  and 
attach  themselves  to  the  Mozart  Regiment  then  forming. 

THE    NATIONAL    GUARDS    JOIN    THE    40th    NEW    YOEK 
INFANTRY. 

Through  Captain  Westcott,  arrangements  were  perfected 
by  which  the  three  companies,  with  an  additional  company 
from  Lawrence,  were  attached  to  the  40th  New  York  Infantry 
(Mozart)  Regiment.  Of  the  National  Guards  the  lieutenants 
and  several  of  the  men  declined  to  again  seek  service  out  of 
the  State.  Their  ranks  were,  however,  recruited  to  the  army 
standard  by  additions  from  the  Wallace  Guards  of  Amesbury. 

Before  leaving  the  State,  Captain  Westcott  received  from 
the  governor  the  announcement  that  in  so  doing  they  severed 
all  connection  with  Massachusetts,  and  that  the  Common- 
wealth would  in  no  wise  be  responsible  for  their  action  or 
welfare. 

LETTER    OF    GOVERNOR   ANDREW   TO    CAPTAIN    WESTCOTT. 

Boston,  June  10th,  18G1. 
To  Capt.  J.  P.  Ti.  Westcott, 

Commanding  Co.  M   V.  M.,  Newburyporf: 

Sir,  —  You  have  expressed  a  desire  in  behalf  of  yourself  and  your 
command,  to  proceed  to  New  York,  and  there  join  what  is  called  the 
Mozart  Regiment.  In  consideration  of  the  disappointment  you  have 
already  experienced,  this  Commonwealth  wiU  again  transport  you  to 
New  York  at  its  own  expense.  But  in  order  that  there  may  be  no  pos- 
sible misunderstanding,  it  is  deemed  advisable  to  state  explicitly  in  this 
connection  that  you  and  your  command  are  not  ordered  to  duty,  but 


32  NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1861. 

are  only  permitted  to  do  what  you  desire,  on  your  own  risk  and  respon- 
sibility as  private  citizens,  and  thus  from  the  moment  you  leave  Massa- 
chusetts, the  Commonwealth  cannot  consider  that  it  holds  any  further 
official  connection  with  you  by  which  it  shall  be  bound  to  any  official 
responsibility  whatever  for  your  action  or  welfare,  although  in  both  the 
people  of  Massachusetts  can  never  cease,  of  course,  to  take  a  warm  interest. 
With  sincere  good  wishes 

I  am  very  truly  yours, 

John  A.  Andrew. 

Alderman  Isaac  Hale,  Jr.,  who  accompanied  the  Guards  to 
New  York,  under  date  of  June  13th  telegraphed  to  the  New- 
buryport  Herald : 

Arrived  at  Yonkers  yesterday.  The  condition  of  the  regiment  ex- 
ceeds Captain  Westcott's  statements.  They  are  fully  furnished  with 
howitzers,  wagons,  horses,  and  additional  supplies.  They  will  be  mus- 
tered into  service  Friday. 

The  following  day  Mr.  Hale  again  telegraphed:

Newburyport,  2.5th  April,  1861. 
Sir,  —  I  beg  leave  to  tender  mj'self  to  j^ou  in  any  capacity  liowever 
humble,  in  which  it  may  be  possible  for  me  to  contribute  to  the  public 
weal  in  the  present  critical  emergency.  I  have  no  desire  to  survive  the 
overthrow  of  the  government  of  the  United  States.  I  am  ready  for  any 
sacrifice  to  avert  such  a  catastrophe,  and  I  ask  only  to  be  permitted  to 
lay  down  my  life  in  the  service  of  the  Commonwealth  and  of  the  Union.

Dear  Sir,  —  I  pray  you  not  to  regard  the  accompanying  proffer  in 
any  light  other  than  that  of  earnest  solicitation  on  my  part  to  discharge 
my  duty  to  our  common  country.  Permit  me  to  assume  that  in  our 
past  relations,  as  certainly  in  our  present  ones,  there  has  been  nothing 
to  forbid  me  to  make,  or  you  to  receive,  such  a  proffer  at  the  present 
time.  You  alone  are  able  to  judge  whether,  in  the  scope  of  official 
duties,  there  is  anything  to  assign  to  me  to  do.  If  there  be,  or  not,  I 
pray  you  to  say  so  to  me  in  all  sincerity,  in  order  that,  having  thus  placed 
myself  at  your  discretion,  I  may,  if  not  needed  directly  by  you,  then 
decide  according  to  my  o'mi  judgment  what  to  undertake. 

I  am,  very  respectfully, 

c.  cushing.

REPLY   OF   GOVERNOR   ANDREW. 

Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts, 
Executive  Department, 

Boston,  April  27th,  1861. 
Hon.  Caleb  Cushing: 

Sir,  —  Under  the  responsibilities  of  this  hour,  remitted  both  as  a 
man  and  a  magistrate  to  the  solemn  judgment  of  conscience  and  honor, 
I  must  remember  only  that  great  cause  of  Constitutional  Liberty  and 
of  civilization  itself,  referred  to  the  dread  arbitrament  of  arms ;  and  I  am 
bound  to  say  that  although  our  personal  relations  have  always  been 
agreeable  to  myself,  and  notwithstanding  your  many  great  qualities  fit- 
ting you  for  usefulness,  yet  your  relation  to  public  affairs,  your  fre- 
quently avowed  opinions  touching  the  ideas  and  sentiments  of  Massa- 
chusetts, your  intimacy  of  social,  political,  and  sympathetic  intercourse 
with  the  leading  secessionists  of  the  Rebel  States,  maintained  for  years, 
and  never  (unless  at  this  moment)  discontinued,  forbid  my  finding  you 
any  place  in  the  council  or  the  camp. 

I  am  compelled  sadly  to  declare  that  were  I  to  accept  your  offer 
I  should  dishearten  numerous  good  and  loyal  men,  and  tend  to  demor- 
alize our  military  service.  How  gladly  I  would  have  made  another 
reply  to  your  note  of  the  2.5th  ult.,  which  I  had  the  honor  to  receive 
yesterday,  I  need  not  declare,  nor  attempt  to  express  the  painful  reluc- 
tance with  which  tliis  is  written. 

Faithfully,  your  obedient  servant, 

John  A.  Andrew,  Governor. 


ORGANIZATION    OF   THE       CITY   GREYS,      SUBSEQUENTLY   COM- 
PANY A,  17th   MASSACHUSETTS   VOLUNTEER   INFANTRY. 

The  city  authorities  having  leased  Essex  Hall  on  State 
Street  for  the  accommodation  of  those  who  might  desire  to 
serve  their  country,  on  the  morning  of  April  23d  a  call  was 
made  through  the  Herald  for  the  organization  of  a  new  com- 
pany. 

A  number  of  experienced  military  men  have  urgently  requested 
Capt.  John  E.  Remick,  formerly  of  the  Cushing  Guards,  to  tender  his 
services  to  the  government  in  the  present  emergency,  and  unite  with 
them  in  perfecting  a  corps  in  drill  and  military  tactics.  Captain  Remick 
has  consented,  and  an  invitation  is  hereby  extended  to  such  able-bodied 
men  as  are  willing  to  unite  with  such  a  company,  to  appear  at  Essex 
Hall  this  evening  at  7.30  p.m.,  where  further  arrangements  will  be  made. 
A  paper  maj'  be  found  at  the  express  office  of  David  F.  Brown,  No.  6 
Pleasant  Street,  where  information  may  be  obtained. 


36  NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1861. 

In  response  to  this  call  about  twenty-five  men  enrolled 
themselves  at  the  first  meeting.  This  new  organization  con- 
tinued to  meet  forenoon,  afternoon,  and  evening  for  drill, 
until  its  numbers  had  increased  to  seventy-two  men,  M-hen  an 
election  of  officers  was  ordered  by  the  governor  to  take  place 
Wednesday  evening,  May  22d,  to  be  presided  over  by  Major 
Ladd  of  Boston.  At  this  meeting  David  F.  Brown  was  elected 
Captain;  Thomas  W.  Foster,  1st  Lieutenant  ;  William  Bell, 
2d  Lieutenant;  Thomas  W.  Goodwin,  3d  Lieutenant ;  and 
Alfred  Horton,  4th  Lieutenant. 

THE    COMPANY  PETITION  THE   CITY  GOVERNMENT 
FOR    UNIFORMS,    JUNE   3d. 

To  THE  Hon.  George  W.  Jackman,  Jr.,  Mayor,  the  Board  of  Alder- 
men, AND  THE  Common  Coxtncil,  of  the  City  of  Newburyport: 
The  undersigned  commander  and  subordinate  officers  respectfully 
represent  that  the  volunteer  militia  company  organized  and  officered 
according  to  law,  known  as  the  "City  Greys,"  have  for  the  past  four  weeks 
been  diligent  in  perfecting  themselves  in  drill,  for  the  purpose  of  being 
ready  to  answer  any  call  made  upon  their  services  by  the  constituted 
authorities;  that  they  are  the  only  organized  company  now  in  the  city; 
that  they  have  every  reason  to  believe  that  their  services  will  be  called 
for,  and  that  Newburyport  has  thus  far  furnished  a  small  quota  of  com- 
panies according  to  her  population  in  proportion  to  other  towns  in  Essex 
County. 

For  the  above  reasons  in  part  we  respectfully  petition,  in  behalf  of 
the  company,  that  you  take  measures  such  as  your  judgment  maj'  dic- 
tate, and  as  will  sustain  the  reputation  of  the  city,  towards  providing 
the  company  with  such  means  that  they  will  be  enabled  to  answer  any 
caU  made  upon  us  for  the  purpose  of  protecting  the  government  of  our 
country  and  the  preservation  of  our  Union.

vided the  State  authorities  would  not  uniform  the  company.

July  \st.  A  petition  from  Capt.  David  F.  Brown,  request- 
ing the  use  of  the  Gun  House  as  barracks  for  the  City  Greys,

ing ten  days'  rations  for  twenty-five  men  of  the  same  company 
who  were  to  be  placed  in  barracks.

ments, and  fill  up  the  ranks  of  those  already  in  the  service.

Order  No.  26,  calling  for  fifteen  thousand  volunteers,  and  as- 
signing to  each  city  and  town  the  number  of  men  to  be  fur- 
nished, which  was  based  upon  the  annual  returns  made  to  the

THE   STARS  AND   STRIPES  AFLOAT  IN   EVERY   PART     OF  THE   CITY 

April  20th  (Saturday).  The  patriotism  of  our  citizens  was 
to-day  displayed  in  the  flying  of  the  national  emblems  and 
the  decorating  of  stores  and  private  dwellings.  In  the  central 
portion  of  the  city  nearly  all  the  business  houses  were  deco- 
rated with  the  red,  white,  and  blue.  In  front  of  the  Essex 
Hall  building  on  State  Street,  flags  and  bunting  were  taste- 
fully exhibited  around  the  motto,  "Our  Country:  Right  or 
Wrong." 

AT   MOULTON    &    TALBOT's,    STATE    STREET. 

In  the  forenoon  a  large  and  enthusiastic  gathering  wit- 
nessed the  raising  of  a  flag  at  the  store  of  Messrs.  Moulton  & 
Talbot  on  State  Street.  The  ceremonies  were  introduced  by 
the  playing  of  the  national  airs  by  the  Newburyport  Brass 
Band.  The  flag  was  raised  by  Rev.  Samuel  J.  Spalding,  D.D., 
who,  after  addressing  the  people  on  the  importance  of  support- 
ing the  national  government,  closed  with  solemn  prayer  for  the 
protection  of  those  who  had  gone  in  defense  of  the  nation 
and  its  flag.  Speeches  were  made  by  Rev.  Daniel  P.  Pike, 
E.  H.  Rollins,  Rev.  James  N.  Sykes,  D.  A.  W.  Perkins,  George 
J.  L.  Colby,  James  Carey,  Moody  D.  Cook,  Philip  K.  Hills, 
and  City  Marshal  James  P.  L.  Westcott. 

AT   GILLETT    &    CO.'S    EXPRESS    OFFICE,    PLEASANT   STREET. 

April  2Zd  (Tuesday).  Messrs.  Gillett  &  Co.  hoisted  the 
national  flag  upon  a  staff  in  front  of  their  express  office  in 
the  presence  of  a  very  large  gathering  of  people,  who  crowded 
the  streets,  windows,  and  roofs  in  the  vicinity  to  witness  the 


40  NEWBUIiYPORT    IN    THE   CIVIL    WAR,    1861. 

scene.  The  flag  was  hoisted  by  the  Rev.  J.  E.  Bruce,  and 
was  saluted  with  music  by  the  Newburyport  Band.  Com- 
pany B  of  Byfield,  Capt.  T.  Lyman  Pearson,  being  present, 
greeted  it  with  cheers  as  it  was  unfurled  to  the  breeze,  while 
the  plaudits  of  the  people  were  long  and  continuous.  Prayer 
was  offered  by  Rev.  Mr.  Bruce,  in  behalf  of  our  coun- 
try, its  free  institutions,  and  the  sacrifices  being  made  for  its 
preservation  by  the  thousands  who  volunteered  in  its  defense. 

AT   THE    BROWN    HIGH    SCHOOL. 

April  2-ith  (Wednesday).  The  members  of  the  Brown 
High  School  located  on  State  Street  attested  their  patriotism 
and  devotion  to  the  cause  of  the  Union  by  hoisting  the  Amer- 
ican flag  on  a  staff  erected  near  their  school  building.  Music 
was  furnished  by  the  Newburyport  Band,  and  speeches  made 
by  William  H,  Pearson,  Sylvester  Burnham,  and  William  H. 
Bartlett,  graduates  from  the  school.  General  Gushing,  Rich- 
ard S.  Spofford,  Jr.,  and  Rev.  Daniel  P.  Pike,  made  brief  ad- 
dresses, expressing  their  love  for  the  Union,  and  the  support  it 
should  receive  from  all  who  claimed  its  protection.  The  exer- 
cises were  closed  by  the  reciting  of  a  portion  of  Patrick  Henry's 
great  war  speech,  by  George  R.  Merrill,  a  member  of  the  school. 

General  Gushing  in  his  speech  said  that: 

He  cordially  participated  in  the  present  patriotic  manifestation. 
Long  may  this  glorious  flag  wave  above  our  heads,  the  banner  of  vic- 
tory and  the  symbol  of  our  national  honor.  Our  dear  country  now  in- 
deed demands  the  devotion  of  all  people,  for  the  dire  calamity  of  ci%'il 
war  is  upon  us. 

He  had  labored  hitherto  for  manj"^  years,  earnestly  and  in  good  faith 
at  least,  first  for  the  conservation  of  the  Union,  and  then  to  avert  the 
e\'ils  of  fratricidal  war,  and  of  what  he  might  have  said  in  that  relation 
he  had  nothing  now  to  retract.  But  the  day  of  discussion  had  passed, 
and  that  of  action  had  arrived.  He  had  before  him  the  question,  which 
had  occurred  to  pubUc  men  in  other  countries,  when  political  convulsions 
divided  friend  from  friend  and  brother  from  brother,  and  sometimes 
arrayed  them  against  one  another  in  hostile  camp  and  in  deadly  strife. 
What  in  such  a  case  is  the  dictate  of  duty?  Should  we  retire  into  safe 
seclusion  in  a  foreign  country,  to  return  in  better  times,  to  wear  the 
honor  of  freedom,  like  Hyde?  Or  should  we  remain  to  affront  the  perils 
of  our  lot,  like  Faukland  or  Vance?     The  latter  course,  if  not  the  safer 


NEWBURYPOET   IN   THE   CIVIL    WAR,  1861.  41 

one,  is  at  any  rate  the  more  courageous  one.  He  chose  so  to  act.  He 
was  a  citizen  of  the  United  States,  owing  allegiance  to  the  Constitution, 
and  bound  by  constitutional  duty  to  support  its  government,  and  he 
should  do  so.  He  was  a  son  of  Massachusetts,  attached  to  her  by  ties  of 
birth  and  affection,  and  from  which  neither  friend  nor  foe  should  sever 
Wm.  He  would  yield  to  no  man  in  faithfulness  to  the  Union,  or  in  zeal 
for  the  maintenance  of  the  laws  and  the  constitutional  authorities  of  the 
Union;  and  to  that  end  he  stood  prepared,  if  occasion  should  call  for  it, 
to  testify  his  sense  of  public  duty  by  entering  the  field  again  at  the  com- 
mand of  the  Conamonwealth  or  of  the  Union. 


AT   WILSON    BROS.,    STRONG    STREET. 

April  26th  (Friday).  This  afternoon  the  city  was  unusu- 
ally active.  Thousands  assembled  to  pay  homage  to  the 
"Flag  of  the  Union,"  that  was  now  looked  upon  by  the  people 
of  the  North  with  a  greater  reverence  and  respect  than  ever 
before.  The  first  gathering  was  at  the  establishment  of 
Messrs.  Wilson,  carvers,  on  Strong  Street,  where  amid  the 
booming  of  cannon  and  the  sweet  strains  of  music  a  beautiful 
life-sized  statue  was  unveiled  representing  the  "Daughter  of 
the  Regiment,"  above  which  floated  the  national  flag.  After 
the  cheers  with  which  it  was  greeted  had  died  away.  Rev. 
Samuel  J.  Spalding  offered  an  earnest  and  patriotic  prayer  for 
the  unity  and  safety  of  the  republic.  Speeches  were  made  by 
Rev.  Daniel  P.  Pike  and  Edward  Burrill,  Esq.

building,  corner  of  Washington  and  Court  streets,  to  witness

the  female  High  and  Grammar  Schools.  Rev.  John  R.  Thurs- 
ton offered  prayer,  after  which  the  young  ladies  hoisted  the 
flag,  which  was  greeted  by  the  singing  of: 

Our  flag  is  there!     Our  flag  is  there! 

We'll  hail  it  with  three  loud  huzzas. 
Our  flag  is  there!     Our  flag  is  there! 

Behold  the  glorious  Stripes  and  Stars.

dred and  twenty-five  dollars  were  subscribed  by  the  friends  of

chased for  the  officers.  In  addition  to  the  swords,  the  box

AID    TO    FAMILIES    OF   VOLUNTEERS. 

On  the  23d  of  May,  1861,  the  Legislature  passed  a  Resolve 
entitled,  "An  Act  in  aid  of  the  families  of  volunteers  and 
for  other  purposes,"  by  which  cities  and  towns  were  permitted 
to  raise  money  by  taxation  and  apply  the  same  under  the 
direction  of  town  or  city  officers  for  the  aid  of  the  wife  and 
children  under  sixteen  years  of  age  of  any  of  their  inhabitants 
who  is  a  member  of  the  volunteer  militia  of  this  State,  and 
for  each  parent,  brother  or  sister  or  child,  who,  at  the  time 
of  his  enlistment,  was  dependent  on  him  for  support.  The 
Act  also  provided  that  there  should  be  annually  reimbursed 
from  the  State  Treasury  to  such  cities  and  towns  a  sum  not 
exceeding  one  dollar  per  week  for  the  wife,  and  one  dollar  per 
week  for  each  child  or  parent  of  such  inhabitant  who  at  the 
time  of  his  being  called  into  service  was  dependent  upon  him 
for  support.  By  section  four  of  the  Act  any  city  or  town 
was  also  authorized  to  "organize  an  armed  police,"  whenever 
danger  from  an  attack  by  sea  was  apprehended. 

June  Sd  (Monday).  At  a  meeting  of  the  city  council  an 
order  introduced  by  Alderman  Isaac  Hale,  Jr.,  authorized  the 
mayor  to  "provide  all  assistance  that  may  be  needed  by  those 
families  in  this  city  who  have  been  deprived  of  their  means  of 
support  by  members  of  the  families  having  volunteered  and 
been  mustered  into  service  in  the  ranks  of  the  National  Guards 
in  accordance  with  the  statutes  in  such  cases  made  and  pro- 
vided, and  in  no  case  to  exceed  the  amount  to  be  reimbursed 
by  the  State."

July  4ith  (Thursday).  The  anniversary  of  our  national 
independence  was  ushered  in  with  the  booming  of  cannon, 
the  ringing  of  bells,  and  an  unusual  display  of  the  Stars  and 
Stripes.  No  public  celebration  of  the  day  was  attempted  in 
the  city.  The  people  could  not  dispel  from  their  minds  the 
fact  that  we  were  in  the  midst  of  a  civil  war,  and  for  the  first 
time  father,  son,  and  brother  had  been  called  upon  to  battle 
for  the  preservation  of  our  national  existence.  Towards  even- 
ing several  thousand  people  assembled  on  the  Mall,  and  lis- 
tened to  the  reading  of  the  Declaration  of  Independence  by 
Mr.  Hylas  T.  Wheeler,  principal  of  the  Putnam  School,  fol- 
lowed by  the  singing  of  patriotic  songs,  and  music  by  the 
Newbury  port  Band,

July  Sth  (Monday).  An  order  introduced  by  Alderman 
William  H.  Huse  was  adopted  by  the  city  council: 

That  a  joint  special  committee  consisting  of  the  mayor  and  alder- 
men and  one  councilman  from  each  ward  be  appointed  to  disburse  the 
sums  of  money  appropriated  under  various  orders  passed  by  the  city 
council  for  the  relief  of  the  wives,  children,  and  those  dependent  upon 
those  citizens  of  Newburyport  engaged  or  who  may  hereafter  be  engaged 
in  the  military  or  naval  service  of  the  United  States.  In  addition  to 
the  mayor  and  aldermen  the  committee  consisted  of  Councilman  Michael 
Wormstead,  Ward  1 ;  Ralph  C.  Huse,  Ward  2 ;  William  A.  Davis,  Ward 
3;  Charles  M.  Hodge,  Ward  4;  Charles  A.  HilHard,  Ward  5;  and  James 
P.  McQuillen,  Ward  6. 

A  BOX  SENT  TO  THE  NATIONAL  GUARDS  AT  ALEXANDRIA,  VA. 

July  22d  (Monday).  Through  the  kindness  of  Mr.  Richard 
Welch  and  friends  of  the  National  Guards  attached  to  the 
40th  New  York  (Mozart)  Regiment,  a  large  and  valuable  box

containing  articles  of  comfort  and  usefulness  was  forwarded 
to  them  at  Alexandria,  Va.  The  company  acknowledged  its 
receipt  by  a  card  published  in  the  Herald  of  August  5th: 

Alexandria,  Va.,  July  27th,  1S61. 
The  officers  and  members  of  the  Newburyport  National  Guards  de- 
sire through  this  medium  to  express  their  sincere  gratitude  to  Dr.  Job  T. 
Dickens,  Moses  B.  Wheeler,  Richard  Welch,  John  Buntin,  Charles  L. 
Huse,  Samuel  Towle,  Samuel  A.  Smith,  Reginald  Morton,  Miss  Harrod, 
Messrs.  Gillett  &  Co.,  B.  Warren  Ordway,  and  all  others  whose  names 
may  have  been  unintentionally  omitted,  for  the  articles  of  necessity  and 
luxury  forwarded  to  them.  The  eagerness  with  which  they  were  re- 
ceived should  be  seen  to  appreciate  the  thanks  of  the  recipients,  and  the 
kind  donors  of  these  free-will  offerings  will  long  be  remembered.

RECEPTION  OF  THE  GUSHING  GUARDS  ON  THEIR  RETURN 
FROM  THE  THREE  MONTHS*  CAMPAIGN. 

July  18th  (Thursday).  At  a  meeting  of  the  Veteran  Ar- 
tillery Association,  Benjamin  R.  Knapp,  John  B.  Nelson, 
David  J.  Adams,  John  B.  Goodwin,  Richard  Fowler,  John 
Moore,  William  E;  Currier,  George  W.  Jackman,  Jr.,  Philip 
K.  Hills,  Charles  H.  Coffin,  John  B.  Prichard,  and  Wooster 
Smith  were  selected  a  committee  to  make  all  necessary  ar- 
rangements for  the  reception  of  the  Cushing  Guards  on  their 
return  from  their  three  months'  campaign  in  defence  of  the 
capital. 

THEIR    ARRIVAL   IN    NEW^BURYPORT. 

August  1st  (Thursday).  A  telegram  from  Maj.  Ben:  Perley 
Poore  of  the  8th  Regiment  announced  that  the  regiment  had 
arrived  in  Boston,  and  that  the  Cushing  Guards  would  return 
home  in  the  afternoon.  All  day  the  people  had  been  waiting 
and  preparing  for  them.  They  left  on  a  cold,  rainy,  cheerless 
day  in  April,  few  in  numbers,  with  not  a  cheer  to  encourage 
or  enliven  their  departure;  they  returned,  and  the  firing  of 
cannon,  the  ringing  of  bells,  and  the  joyous  shouts  of  the 
people,  announced  their  arrival.  State  Street  was  thronged 
with  people,  flags  were  flying,  and  stores  and  residences  deco- 
rated in  honor  of  the  brave  men  who  were  the  first  to  respond 
in  defense  of  the  Constitution  and  the  Union. 


NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1861.  51 

The  company  reached  home  at  6  p.m.,  and  were  received 
at  the  railway-crossing  on  State  Street  by  the  Veteran  Artil- 
lery Association,  Capt.  John  Moore,  accompanied  by  the  New- 
buryport  Band.  There  was  also  a  juvenile  company,  the 
Dodge  Cadets,  commanded  by  Master  Edward  W.  Dodge. 
These  companies,  with  a  cavalcade  of  citizens,  escorted  the 
Guards  down  State  Street,  through  Broadway,  up  Greene 
Street  to  City  Hall,  where  dinner  was  provided.  After  dinner 
they  returned  to  their  families  and  friends,  happy  with  the 
reflection  that  they  had  performed  their  duties  honestly,  faith- 
fully, and  fearlessly.  There  were  sixty-six  men  from  New- 
buryport  in  the  8th  Regiment  during  the  three  months'  cam- 
paign.    Fifty-two  of  them  re-entered  the  service. 

RECRUITING  IN   NEWBURYPORT   DURING   THE    SUMMER    OF    1861. 

After  the  departure  of  Captain  Brown's  company  attached 
to  the  17th  Massachusetts  Infantry,  recruiting  in  our  city  was 
comparatively  dull.  Efforts  were  made  by  several  who  had 
seen  service  in  the  three  months'  campaign  to  organize  com- 
panies, but  the  experience  of  the  National  Guards  in  being  or- 
dered into  service  deterred  many  from  enlisting  in  new  or- 
ganizations.

THE   FIRST  SOLDIER   BURIED   IN   NEWBURYPORT  AFTER   THE 
COMMENCEMENT    OF    THE    WAR.

in  Newburyport  in  June,  1844,  was  to-day  buried  from  the 
Congress  Street  Church.  Young  Burbank  was  a  resident  of 
East  Boston  at  the  time  of  his  enlistment,  and  was  but  seven- 
teen years  of  age  when  he  entered  the  service.     He  was  with 


NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1861.  53 

his  regiment  in  the  first  battle  of  Bull  Run,  July  21st,  and  con- 
tinued in  active  service  until  the  privations  of  camp  life  so 
told  on  his  health  as  to  oblige  him  to  enter  the  hospital  at 
Bladensburg,  Md.,  where  he  died  October  1st. 

THE   CITY  WITHHOLDS   STATE   AID   FROM   THE   FAMILIES   OF  VOL- 
UNTEERS,   RESIDENTS    OF   NEWBURYPORT,    WHO    JOINED    THE 
40th   NEW   YORK   (mOZART)    REGIMENT. 

As  the  Act  of  the  Legislature  granting  aid  to  the  families 
of  volunteers  applied  only  to  the  families  of  those  who  en- 
listed in  the  volunteer  regiments  of  the  State,  and  not  to  those 
who  joined  the  40th  New  York  (Mozart)  Regiment,  the  city, 
October  1st,  suspended  further  assistance  to  those  families. 

THE    COMMITTEE    OF    THE    VOLUNTEER    RELIEF    FUND    OFFER    TO 

REIMBURSE   THE    CITY    FOR    ALL    SUMS    PAID    THE    FAMILIES 

OF   THOSE    WHO    JOINED    THE    MOZART   REGIMENT   IN 

CASE    THE    STATE    LEGISLATURE    REFUSES   AN 

APPROPRIATION. 

NEWBURYPORT,  October  14th,  1861. 
To  THE  Mayor,  Aldermen  and  City  Council  of  Newburyport: 

Gentlemen,  —  The  undersigned  committee  of  the  ReUef  Fund  for 
the  families  of  those  volunteers  who  have  enlisted  in  the  army  of  the 
United  States  from  this  city,  knowing  that  the  necessities  of  these  fam- 
ilies require  that  assistance  should  still  be  afforded  to  those  of  the  Na- 
tional Guards,  so  called,  as  well  as  to  the  others,  and  believing  that  our 
State  legislature  at  its  next  session  will  pass  acts  paying  the  families  of 
those  companies  who  unfortunately  joined  the  Mozart  Regiment,  the 
same  as  those  volunteers  who  are  enrolled  in  the  IMassachusetts  regi- 
ments, now  propose  to  the  city  government,  that  if  they  will  continue 
to  pay  to  the  families  of  the  National  Guards  such  sums  as  they  have 
done  from  an  appropriation  by  the  city  government  until  last  week, 
not  to  exceed  forty-eight  dollars  per  week,  if  the  legislature  at  its  next 
session  does  not  appropriate  and  cause  to  be  paid  such  sums  as  may 
henceforth  be  paid  to  such  families  by  the  city  government,  that  we  will 
bind  ourselves  as  a  committee  to  refund  to  the  city  all  such  sums  so 
paid  from  the  funds  placed  under  our  control.

men  in  view  of  the  momentous  questions  before  the  country.  The  meeting 
is  one  of  a  series  to  be  held  the  present  week  in  several  of  the  cities  and 
towns  in  the  county.  The  Hon.  Asahel  Huntington,  W.  D.  Xorthend,

The  meeting  was  one  of  the  largest  and  most  patriotic 
gatherings  held  during  the  war.  The  speaking  was  eloquent 
and  impressive,  and  awakened  in  the  hearts  of  the  people  a 
willingness  to  do  and  to  suffer,  to  save  for  themselves  and 
posterity  the  Union  of  our  fathers.

RECRUITING    OF    THE    McCLELLAN   GUARDS,    AND   THEIR  ASSIGN- 
MENT  TO    THE    IITH    MASSACHUSETTS   INFANTRY. 

Under  Special  Order  No.  572,  issued  by  the  adjutant- 
general  of  the  Commonwealth,  Messrs.  Henry  W.  Moulton, 
Luther  Dame,  William  D.  Foster,  and  John  W.  Ricker  com- 


56  NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1861. 

menced  about  the  middle  of  October  the  recruiting  of  a  com- 
pany for  three  years'  service  to  be  known  as  the  McClellan 
Guards.  About  sixty  men  were  enhsted  in  this  city,  and  oc- 
cupied for  a  time  as  barracks  the  rooms  over  the  store  No.  13 
Market  Square.  To  complete  the  organization  the  company 
was  filled  up  by  the  addition  of  recruits  from  Lynn  and  other 
parts  of  Essex  County.  When  the  recruiting  for  the  company 
began,  it  was  expected  it  would  be  assigned  to  one  of  the  new 
regiments  then  being  organized  by  the  governor  ;  but  an  order 
from  the  War  Department  prohibiting  the  organization  of  any 
more  new  regiments  caused  the  disbanding  of  many  companies 
then  being  raised,  and  rendered  it  necessary  for  the  governor 
to  order  the  McClellan  Guards  to  join  the  11th  Massachusetts 
Infantry  then  on  duty  on  the  Lower  Potomac,  Maryland 
shore.  The  company  organization  was  not  preserved.  Cap- 
tain Dame,  on  being  ordered  to  Company  C,  took  with  him 
less  than  twenty  men;  the  remainder  were  assigned  to  other 
companies  as  recruits. 


ENLISTMENTS    FOR    GENERAL    BUTLER  S    EXPEDITION 
TO    NEW    ORLEANS. 

November  I2th.  Adjutant  George  Creasey,  Capt.  Albert  W. 
Bartlett,  and  Lieuts.  Gamaliel  Hodges  and  George  Barker, 
were  authorized  by  the  governor  to  recruit  a  company  of 
infantry  for  three  years'  service,  provided  the  required  num- 
ber of  men  could  be  raised  within  twenty  days.  A  recruiting 
office  was  opened  at  the  armory  of  the  Cushing  Guards,  and 
the  following  call  made: 

Wanted  —  Strong,  Able-Bodied  and  Intelligent  Men  to  fill  up 
a  new  company  now  being  organized  at  the  armory  of  the  Cushing  Guards 
by  order  of  His  Excellency  Governor  Andrew.  Every  man  enlisting 
will  receive  pay  and  rations  from  the  date  of  enlistment,  and  also  be 
entitled  to  all  the  comforts  conferred  by  the  legislature  upon  Massachu- 
setts soldiers.  This  is  the  best  opportunity  yet  offered  to  enlist  in  a 
corps  with  officers  and  men  of  their  own  acquaintance. 

At  the  expiration  of  the  time  specified,  thirty  men  had  been 
recruited ;  but  as  the  governor  was  unwilling  to  extend  the 


NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1861.  57 

authority,  the  men  were  turned  over  to  General  Butler,  and 
under  command  of  Lieutenant  Barker  were  assigned  to  the 
30th  Massachusetts  Infantry,  then  at  Camp  Chase,  Lowell.

Congress  having  refused  to  allow  the  State  credit  for  en- 
listments in  the  navy,  the  State  authorities  ruled  that  the 
families  of  those  men  who  had  entered  this  branch  of  the  ser- 
vice were  not  entitled  to  State  aid.  At  a  regular  meeting  of 
the  city  government  November  4th,  Alderman  Hale  introduced 
an  order,  "That  the  sum  of  two  hundred  dollars  be  appro- 
priated for  the  relief  of  the  families  of  those  inhabitants  of 
Newburyport  that  may  be  necessitous,  and  who  now  are  or 
may  be  engaged  in  the  naval  service  of  the  United  States  dur- 
ing the  present  Rebellion."  This  order  having  been  rejected 
by  a  yea  and  nay  vote.  Alderman  Hale,  December  2d,  pre- 
sented a  petition  signed  by  Edward  S.  Moseley  and  743  legal 
voters,  asking  for  "an  appropriation  for  the  support  of  the 
famiUes  of  those  of  our  citizens  who  have  enlisted  in  the 
United  States  Navy."  This  petition  was  referred  to  a  joint 
special  committee,  consisting  of  Alderman  Isaac  Hale  and 
George  J.  George,  and  Councilmen  Charles  M.  Hodge,  James 
P.  McQuillen,  and  John  J.  Currier,  who  reported  that  the 
prayer  of  the  petitioners  should  be  granted.  The  report  of 
the  committee  was  accepted ;  and  an  order  introduced  by 
Councilman  Currier,  authorizing  the  committee  on  finance  to 
hire  three  hundred  dollars,  to  be  paid  to  the  families  of  those 
enlisted  in  the  naval  service,  under  the  direction  of  the  Relief 
Committee,  was  unanimously  adopted.

FROM   THE  MAYOR'S   INAUGURAL  ADDRESS. 
STATE  OF   THE   COUNTRY. 

The  causes  which  have  brought  our  beloved  country  into  this  dis- 
astrous position,  it  would  not  be  proper  for  me  at  this  time  to  discuss 
One  thing  is  certain,  it  is  the  duty  of  every  one  in  this  great  crisis  to 
use  all  the  means  in  his  power  to  extricate  the  government  from  this, 
the  worst  of  all  wars,  if  we  would  again  wish  to  see  that  prosperity  which 
was  so  apparent  a  3'ear  and  a  half  ago.  We,  as  citizens,  as  patriots,  as 
honest  men,  irrespective  of  all  party  feelings  and  considerations,  should 
take  the  greatest  of  all  documents  ever  written,  the  Constitution  of  the 
United  States  —  the  charter  of  our  rights  and  liberties  —  for  our  guide 
and  direction;  the  peace,  prosperity,  and  happiness  of  all  the  inhabit- 
ants of  this  ever-cherished  country,  for  our  aim;  and  in  the  right  spirit 
seek  to  preserve,  strengthen,  and  perpetuate  the  best  government  Divine 
Providence  ever  gave  or  bestowed  upon  any  people.  We  have  yet  to 
offer  in  this  cause  the  services,  voluntarily  and  early  tendered  to  the 
government,  of  a  distinguished  fellow-citizen  who  has  been  long  con- 
spicuous in  the  discharge  of  functions  of  high  civil  and  military  posi- 
tions. We  trust  that  the  government  will  soon  be  able  to  avail  itself  of 
his  distinguished  ability  and  patriotic  devotion  to  the  common  cause. 

I  will  only  add,  in  conclusion  of  this  subject,  my  full  assurance  that 
I  need  not  urge  upon  you  continued  attention  to  the  duties  devohang 
upon  the  city,  in  relation  to  those  of  our  number  who  are  now  making 
new  proof  of  the  strength  and  power  of  Republican  government,  in  vol- 
untarily bearing  arms  for  its  defence  and  support.

That  a  committee  consisting  of  the  mayor,  the  board  of  aldermen

the  amount  allowed  by  the  city  to  the  families  of  those  persons  who 
have  enlisted  in  the  service  of  the  United  States,  in  both  the  army  and 
navy. 

The  committee  consisted  of  the  mayor  and  aldermen,  and 
councilmen  Jacob  G.  Brown,  Daniel  A.  W.  Perkins,  Curtis 
French,  Dana  Dodge,  Alexander  Caldwell,  and  Stephen  M. 
Pillsbury. 

APPROPRIATION    OF   $1,500   FOR    TPIE    USE    OF   THE 
RELIEF    COMMITTEE. 

January  20th  (Monday  Evening).  The  city  council  adopted 
an  order  authorizing  the  Committee  on  Finance  to  hire  for  a 
term  not  exceeding  four  months  $1,500  for  the  temporary 
relief  of  the  families  of  those  enlisted  in  the  United  States 
military  and  naval  service,  to  be  charged  to  the  Relief  Com- 
mittee. 

THE    CAPTURE    OF    FORT   DONELSON. 

February  16th  (Sunday  Evening).  News  was  received  by 
telegraph  of  the  capture  of  Fort  Donelson  by  the  Union  forces 
under  General  Grant.  The  announcement  of  the  news  caused 
the  people  to  gather  in  large  numbers  on  State  Street,  and 
rejoice  and  congratulate  each  other  upon  the  brightening  pros- 
pect. Monday,  flags  were  thrown  to  the  breeze,  bells  were 
rung,  one  hundred  guns  fired,  and  in  the  evening  houses  were

Washington's  birthday. 

February  22d  (Saturday).  In  accordance  with  the  recom- 
mendation of  the  President,  the  anniversary  of  the  birthday  of

NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1862.  61 

celebrated  in  this  city  with  unusual  spirit.  At  sunrise,  noon, 
and  sunset  the  bells  of  the  different  churches  were  rung.  Flags 
were  displayed  from  pubhc  buildings  and  private  dwellings. 
Religious  services  were  held  in  the  Court  and  Prospect  Street 
Churches.  At  the  latter  place,  the  exercises  were  conducted 
by  the  clergymen  of  the  city.  Prayers  were  offered  by  Rev. 
Randolph  Campbell,  Rev.  Drs.  A.  G.  Vermilye  and  Leonard 
Withington.  Selections  from  Scripture  were  read  by  Rev.  Dr. 
William  Horton,  and  Washington's  Farewell  Address  by  Rev. 
Dr.  Samuel  J.  Spalding.  The  singing  of  ''Strike  the  Cymbal," 
"America,"  Miss  Hannah  Gould's  beautiful  ode,  "Who  when 
darkness  gathered  o'er  us,"  and  the  "Star-Spangled  Banner," 
was  under  the  direction  of  Messrs.  Warren  Currier  and  James 
W.  Cheney.  In  the  evening  the  residences  or  places  of  busi- 
ness of  William  E.  Currier,  Amos  Noyes,  Rufus  G.  Coffin, 
William  B.  Morss,  Caleb  C.  Toppan,  Charles  W.  Carter,  Dana 
Dodge,  and  Rev.  J.  C.  Fletcher  were  brilliantly  illuminated. 

The  residence  of  Dr.  M.  M.  Mumford,  known  as  the  Prince 
House,  attracted  particular  attention.  Over  the  entrance,  and 
beneath  the  folds  of  the  Stars  and  Stripes,  were  the  words, 
"Our  Guest  of  1789."  It  was  at  this  house  Washington  re- 
mained during  his  visit  to  Newburyport  in  October,  1789. 


FAST  DAY  SERMON  BY  REV.  RANDOLPH  CAMPBELL. 

On  Fast  Day,  at  the  Prospect  Street  Church,  the  pastor, 
Rev,  Randolph  Campbell,  preached  from  the  text,  Isaiah  xxxii. 
15-19.  Subject,  "The  Union  safe,  through  the  gracious  out- 
pouring of  the  Spirit,  and  by  the  hailstorm  of  judgment  upon 
the  Rebellion."  The  discourse  was  particularly  adapted  to 
the  times,  and  full  of  patriotism  and  encouragement.  At  the 
request  of  many  of  our  citizens,  it  was  repeated  April  25th. 


Newburyport,  April  21st,  1862. 
Dear  Sir,  —  Believing  that  there  are  many  persons  in  this  com- 
munity who  would  like  to  hear  the  discourse  which,  on  Fast  Day,  you 
delivered  so  acceptably  to  your  own  society,  we  wish  to  ask  of  you  the 
favor  of  repeating  it,  so  that  those  interested  may  have  an  opportunity 
to  hear. 


62  NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1862. 

If  you  should  consent  to  comply  with  this  request,  you  will  please 
to  name  the  time  and  place  which  will  be  most  convenient  to  you. 

Yours  respectfully, 

Eben  F.  Stone.  Edward  S.  Mosbley.  Joshua  Hale. 

Wm.  Forbes.  John  Balch.  William  Thurston. 

Charles  S.  Swasey.  A.  W.  Miltimore.  Enoch  G.  Currier.

Essex  Street,  April  22d,  1862. 
Eben  F.  Stone,  Esq. 

Dear  Sir,  —  The  note  from  yourself  and  other  gentlemen,  requesting 
a  repetition  of  the  discourse  delivered  by  me  to  my  own  people  last  Fast 
Day,  has  been  received. 

In  the  solemnity  of  the  crisis  through  which  we  are  passing,  it  seems 
fitting  that  every  citizen  should  hold  himself  in  readiness  to  aid  and  en- 
courage, as  he  may  be  able,  a  spirit  of  genuine  patriotism.  With  this 
view,  I  should  hardly  be  warranted  in  declining  the  request  with  which 
you  have  been  pleased  to  honor  me,  though  a  ministry  of  nearly  twenty- 
five  years  in  this  city  may  witness  that  I  have  not  been  anxious  over- 
much, to  act  in  any  public  capacity  without  the  sphere  of  immediate 
parochial  duty. 

The  conviction  only  deepens  in  my  own  soul  continually,  that,  at 
whatever  sacrifice,  our  National  Union  must  be  preserved,  and  the  Re- 
bellion overthrown;  and  that,  for  the  accomplishment  of  this  purpose, 
our  confidence  must  be  especially  in  Him  who  graciously  styles  himself 
"the  Hope  of  Israel,  and  the  Savior  thereof  in  time  of  trouble." 

As  to  the  place  for  the  repetition,  allow  me  to  suggest  that  of  its 
original  delivery;   and  for  the  time,  next  Friday  evening  at  7.30  o'clock. 
Very  respectfully  yours, 

Randolph  Campbell. 


AID  TO  THE  FAMILIES  OF  PERSONS  IN  THE  NAVY  DISCONTINUED. 

May  5th.  The  city  having  been  paying  aid  to  the  famihes 
of  those  who  enlisted  in  the  navy,  and  also  to  quite  a  large 
number  who  enlisted  in  the  army,  where  the  State  would  not 
reimburse,  the  city  council,  by  an  order  introduced  by  Coun- 
cilman Pillsbury,  discontinued  such  payments:  "That  the  fam- 
ilies of  volunteers  in  the  navy  (except  in  extreme  cases,  to 
be  decided  by  vote  of  the  Relief  Committee)  be  stricken  from 
the  rolls  from  and  after  April  30th,  1862."  Such  payments 
amounted  in  all  to  about  four  hundred  dollars  per  month.

the  telegraphic  dispatch  was  read  announcing  the  victories. 
At  the  Whitefield  Church,  after  communicating  the  news.  Rev. 
Dr.  Spalding  offered  a  prayer  of  thanksgiving.  At  the  Pleas- 
ant Street  Church  the  reading  of  the  telegram  was  followed

•'  America  "  by  the  choir.

THE    governor's    CALL   FOR   TROOPS,    AND    THE    DEPARTURE 

OF   THE    GUSHING    GUARDS. 

May  26th  (Monday).  An  extra  of  the  Newburyport  Her- 
ald was  issued  this  morning,  to  promulgate  the  call  of  Gov- 
ernor Andrew  for  the  assembling  of  the  State  militia,  which 
read  as  follows: 

HERALD  EXTRA  1 

THE  CALL  TO  ARMS  I 
PATRIOT  SOLDIERS  !   TO  THE  RESCUE  OP  THE  CAPITAL. 

We  publish  the  following  telegram  from  Governor  Andrew,  calling 
upon  the  soldiery  of  the  Commonwealth  at  once  to  meet  on  Boston  Com- 
mon, prepared  to  rush  to  the  defence  of  the  capital  now  threatened  by 
the  rebels  and  traitors  of  the  South,  who,  having  defeated  General  Banks, 
are  marching  on  Washington.  No  words  of  ours  can  add  to  the  call  of 
the  governor.  The  men  of  Massachusetts,  who  were  not  backward  in 
the  days  of  our  fathers'  struggle  for  Independence,  and  who  have  never 
failed  to  answer  the  call  of  their  country,  will  be  minute  men  to-day. 
Massachusetts,  whose  men  rescued  the  capital  in  1861,  shedding  the  first 
blood  to  suppress  treason,  will  be  ready  to  dare  and  do  to  preserve  that 
capital  in  1862.  Citizen  soldiers  will  by  the  first  train  or  the  first  con-

was  found  that  the  services  of  the  mihtia  were  not  required, 
and  they  were  dismissed  to  return  to  their  homes,  having  for 
the  second  time  shown  their  patriotism  by  responding  to  the 
call  of  the  governor. 


ENLISTMENT   OF   MEN   FOR   THE   32d  MASSACHUSETTS  INFANTRY. 

The  governor  having  authorized  the  organization  of  three 
new  regiments  of  infantry  to  serve  for  three  years,  Henry  W. 
Moulton,  Esq.,  commenced  June  4th  the  recruiting  of  a  company 
in  this  city  for  the  32d  Massachusetts  Infantry,  at  No.  42 
State  Street.  June  16th  the  recruits  were  taken  to  camp  at 
Lynnfield;  and  as  enlistments  at  this  time  were  extremely 
slow,  not  a  sufficient  number  of  men  were  secured  to  form  a 
Newburyport  company.  Mr.  Moulton  was  subsequently  com- 
missioned a  captain  in  the  regiment.

teers to  serve  for  three  years,  or  until  the  end  of  the  war,  to 
form  new  regiments,  and  fill  up  the  ranks  of  those  already  in 
the  service.  The  proportion  assigned  to  Massachusetts  was 
15,000  men.

July  7th  (Monday).  The  governor  of  the  Commonwealth 
issued  General  Order  No.  26,  calHng  for  15,000  volunteers. 
This  order  was  accompanied  by  a  table  showing  the  propor- 
tion of  each  city  and  town,  which  was  based  upon  the  annual 
returns  made  to  the  adjutant-general  by  the  assessors  of  the 
several  cities  and  towns  of  men  liable  to  do  military  duty. 
The  number  assigned  to  Newburyport  was  one  hundred  and

July  \Oth  (Thursday).  At  a  convention  of  both  branches 
of  the  city  government,  the  mayor  stated  to  the  council  that 
Newbury  port  had  been  called  upon  for  179  men,  and  recom- 
mended a  bounty  of  $50  to  be  paid  by  the  city  to  each  volun- 
teer. The  mayor  addressed  the  convention  in  a  patriotic 
speech,  and  urged  that  prompt  and  efficient  action  be  taken 
by  the  city  council  to  raise  forthwith  the  number  of  men  re- 
quired of  the  city. 

Alderman  Nathaniel  Pierce  introduced  an  order: 

That  a  bounty  of  seventy-five  (75)  dollars  per  man  be  offered  for 
179  able-bodied  men  between  the  ages  of  17  and  50  years,  and  residents 
of  this  city,  to  enlist  as  volunteers  from  Massachusetts,  for  the  service  of 
the  United  States,  for  the  term  required  by  the  United  States;  and  that 
said  boxmty  be  paid  to  the  order  of  each  individual  who  shall  so  enlist, 
by  the  city  treasurer,  until  otherwise  ordered  by  the  city  government, 
on  the  presentation  of  the  proper  evidence  of  such  enlistment,  indorsed 
by  the  mayor;  and  also  that  a  joint  special  committee,  consisting  of  the 
mayor  and  two  of  this  board,  and  four  of  the  common  council,  be  ap- 
pointed for  the  purpose  of  recruiting  them. 

This  order  was  unanimously  adopted;  and  Aldermen 
Charles  C.  Dame  and  William  H.  Huse,  and  Councilmen  Dana 
Dodge,  Eben  P.  Cutter,  William  H.  Johnson,  and  Moses  Pet- 
tingell,  Jr.,  were  appointed  as  the  committee. 

July  2\st  (Monday).  By  a  vote  of  the  city  council,  twenty- 
five  (25)  dollars  was  added  to  the  bounty  of  seventy-five  (75) 
dollars  authorized  by  the  order  passed  July  10th  to  be  paid  for 
a  number  not  exceeding  179  men;  also  "that  those  enlisting 
under  any  recruiting  officer  except  those  designated  by  the 
mayor  shall  not  be  entitled  to  relief  from  the  State  fund 
until  such  time  as  they  shall  be  recognized  by  the  governor 
of  the  Commonwealth  as  the  quota  called  for  from  Newbury- 
port." 

THE    PRESIDENT   CALLS    FOR    300,000  MEN    FOR    NINE    MONTHS. 

August  4th  (Monday).  The  President  under  this  date  or-

the  15th  day  of  August  furnish  its  quota  under  the  call  of 
July  1st  for  300,000  volunteers,  the  deficiency  for  that  State 
would  be  made  up  by  a  draft  from  the  militia.  The  number 
which  Massachusetts  was  called  upon  to  furnish  was  nineteen 
thousand  and  eighty  (19,080).  The  quota  of  nine  months'  men 
for  Newburyport  was  two  hundred  and  eighty-eight  (288)  men. 

THE    CITY    OFFERS  A   BOUNTY  OF  $200  FOR  VOLUNTEERS  UNDER

August  5th  (Tuesday  Evening).  The  city  council  held  a 
special  meeting,  and  determined  to  take  the  most  active 
measures  to  fill  up  the  quota  of  Newburyport  under  the  first 
call  for  300,000  men.  By  an  order  presented  by  Alderman 
Nathaniel  Pierce,  the  bounty  of  $100  was  increased  to  $200 
per  man  for  all  who  should  enlist  previous  to  August  11th.

NEWBUEYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1862.  71 

VOLUNTEERS    FOR   THE    WAR. 

The  generous  action  of  the  city  government  was  nobly 
responded  to  by  the  young  men  of  the  city.  Wednesday, 
August  6th,  was  the  most  exciting  and  eventful  day  seen  at  the 
recruiting  offices  during  the  war.  At  the  Ward  Room,  City 
Hall,  where  Captain  Bartlett  was  recruiting,  crowds  of  loyal, 
patriotic,  and  earnest  men  were  gathered,  earnestly  discussing 
the  necessities  of  the  country:  while  the  boys,  who  had  caught 
the  spirit  of  the  occasion,  paraded  the  streets  with  music  and 
banners.  During  the  day  one  hundred  and  -fifteen  (115)  of  our 
citizens  had  enrolled  their  names  for  three  years. 

August  7th  (Thursday).  "The  enthusiasm  of  the  people, 
the  continued  excitement  at  the  recruiting  offices,  and  the 
readiness  to  volunteer,  made  it  certain  that  the  quota  of 
Newburyport  for  three  years'  men  would  be  filled  to-day. 
Through  the  energy  and  patriotism  of  Mr.  Dana  Dodge,  the 
services  of  the  Salem  Brass  Band  were  secured,  and  on  their 
arrival  in  the  city  a  procession  was  formed,  and  the  recruits, 
with  a  large  number  of  our  citizens,  paraded  the  principal 
streets. 

"At  the  City  Hall  the  enhstment  roll  was  rapidly  filled;  and 
long  before  sunset  forty-nine  (49)  additional  names  had  been 
added  to  the  list,  making  a  total  of  one  hundred  and  sixty- 
four  (164)  enlistments  in  two  days,  which,  with  the  fifteen  (15) 
previously  enhsted  and  '  mustered  in,'  made  the  full  comple- 
ment of  one  hundred  and  seventy-nine  (179)  men." 


DEPARTURE     OF     THE     RECRUITS     FOR     LYNNFIELD.      THE     CITY

August  8th  (Friday).  The  recruits  assembled  at  the  City 
Hall  early  in  the  forenoon,  and  voted  to  ask  the  city  govern- 
ment to  recommend  to  the  governor  the  appointment  of  Capt. 
Albert  W.  Bartlett,  Lieuts.  Gamaliel  Hodges  and  Nathan  W. 
Collins,  then  officers  of  the  Cushing  Guards,  to  be  officers  of 
the  new  company  to  be  organized.     The  city  council  then  in 


72  NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1862. 

session  adopted  the  following  resolution  presented  by  Alder- 
man George: 

That  the  names  of  Albert  W.  Bartlett  as  Captain,  Gamaliel  Hodges 
as  1st  Lieutenant,  and  Nathan  W.'^CoUins  as  2d  Lieutenant,  be  recom- 
mended to  His  Excellency  the  Governor  of  this  Commonwealth  for  of- 
ficers to  the  company  of  volunteers  just  raised  in  this  city,  and  that  a 
conamittee  of  one  from  this  board  and  two  from  the  common  council  be 
appointed  to  present  these  names  to  the  governor  and  urge  their  being 
commissioned  as  aforesaid.  Alderman  Charles  C.  Dame  and  Councilmen 
Thomas  H.  Cutter  and  Ralph  C.  Huse  were  appointed  as  the  committee. 

At  9.30  o'clock  a  column  was  formed,  consisting  of  the  Salem 
Brass  Band,  the  Veteran  Artillery  Association,  and  the  city 
government,  who  escorted  the  volunteers  to  the  Eastern  R.R. 
depot.  At  10  o'clock,  accompanied  by  the  mayor  and  the 
officers  selected,  they  left  for  Camp  Stanton,  Lynnfield.

PATRIOTIC    APPEAL   BY   HON.    EBEN    F.    STONE. 

August  dth  (Saturday).  In  the  Newburyport  Herald  of  this 
date,  Hon.  Eben  F.  Stone  published  the  following  patriotic 
card  ahnouncing  his  determination  to  enhst,  and  calling  upon 
others  to  come  forward  and  join  the  army  of  the  Union. 

NEVER   OR  NOW. 

FelUrw-citizens,  —  By  the  command  of  the  President,  the  order  has 
been  issued  for  the  immediate  draft  of  three  hundred  thousand  of  the 
militia  of  the  State,  to  serve  for  the  term  of  nine  months. 

Will  you  wait  to  be  actually  drafted,  or  wiU  you  voluntarily  respond 
with  alacrity  to  the  summons? 

The  crisis  is  upon  us.  Delay  is  ruin.  The  blast  of  war  blows  in 
our  ears,  and  indecision  at  this  solemn  juncture  is  cowardly  and  disrepu- 
table. 

The  subscriber  has  resolved  to  go.  He  invites  his  fellow-citizens  to 
join  him.  Come,  put  aside  the  claims  of  business  and  the  charms  of 
pleasant  homes,  and  give  your  entire  energies  to  the  service  of  your 
coimtry.  The  occasion  demands  it.  Let  every  true  man  put  on  the 
armor  of  battle,  and,  if  need  be,  lay  down  his  life  in  the  crisis.  No  sac- 
rifice can  be  too  great  for  the  preservation  of  that  Union  which  is  the 
last  best  hope  of  Republican  Liberty  in  the  civilized  world. 

(Signed)        Eben  F.  Stone. 

RECRUITING   OF  A   COMPANY  OF  NINE  MONTHS'   VOLUNTEERS   BY 
HON.    EBEN    F.    STONE. 

After  appealing  to  his  fellow-citizens  to  respond  to  the 
President,  Mr.  Stone  immediately  commenced  the  recruiting 
of  a  company,  and  in  the  Herald  of  August  11th  called  for 
volunteers. 

The  subscriber,  with  the  consent  and  permission  of  the  mayor,  will 
open  a  recruiting  office  for  nine  months'  volunteers,  this  day,  August  11, 
in  the  store  formerly  occupied  by  Moulton  &  Talbot,  comer  of  State  and 
Pleasant  streets.  Let  every  man  that  can  do  a  soldier's  duty  come 
and  enlist  immediately.     The  crisis  admits  of  no  delay. 

(Signed)        Eden  F.  Stone, 

Under  the  following  order,  the  company  known  as  Com- 
pany B,  48th  Regiment  M.  V.  M.,  was  recruited  by  Hon.  Eben 
F.  Stone: 


78  NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  18G2. 

Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts, 

Headquarters,  Boston,  August  13th,  1862. 
Special  Order  No.  620. 

The  mayor  and  aldermen  of  Newburyport  are  hereby  authorized  to 

raise  a  volunteer  militia  company.     The  mayor  and  aldermen  will  cause 

the  enclosed  enlistment  roll  to  be  returned  to  this  office  as  soon  as  filled. 

The  utmost  promptness  is  requisite.      By  command  of   His  Excellency, 

John  A.  Andrew,  Governor  and  Commander-in-Chief. 

William  Brown,  A.  A.  General. 

In  addition  to  the  recruiting  office  opened  by  Hon.  Eben 
F.  Stone,  three  others  were  authorized  by  the  mayor,  —  one 
at  the  Ward  Room,  City  Hall,  one  at  the  city  marshal's  office, 
Market  Square,  and  one  at  the  store,  corner  of  State  and 
Pleasant  streets. 

Col,  Frederick  J.  Coffin,  having  offered  the  services  of  the 
8th  Regiment  under  the  call  for  nine  months'  men,  issvied  the 
following  order: 

Headquarters,  8th  Regiment,  Fourth  Brigade, 
Second  Division,  M.  V.  M. 
Newburypori,  August  15th,  1862. 
Regimental  Order  No.  4. 

The  colonel  informs  the  regiment  that  after  consultation  with  the 
field  and  line  officers,  he  waited  upon  His  Excellency  the  Governor  and 
Commander-in-Chief,  and  reported  the  8th  Regiment  ready  for  service. 

His  Excellency  inquired  if  the  ranks  of  the  regiment  were  full,  and 
stated  that  he  could  not  accept  the  services  of  any  regiment  unless  it 
was  recruited  to  the  United  States  standard. 

This  will  render  it  necessary  for  commanders  of  companies  to  re- 
cruit without  delay.  The  regiment  is  now  fuller  than  it  was  when  it 
was  mustered  into  the  service  in  April,  1861,  or  when  it  responded  to 
His  Excellency's  order  in  May  last,  but  officers  and  men  have  been,  and 
are  almost  daily  being,  enlisted  from  it  to  fill  the  three  years'  regiments, 
and  active  exertions  will  be  necessary  to  raise  every  company  to  the 
regulation  standard.  There  is,  however,  a  known  desire  on  the  part  of 
many  citizens  of  Essex  County  to  rally  around  the  flag  of  the  old  Eighth, 
and  it  is  believed  there  will  be  no  lack  of  recruits.  Let  the  regiment 
appear  at  encampment  with  full  ranks,  and  you  may  hope  to  again  be 
permitted  to  march  to  the  defence  of  the  Union. 

The  high  encomiums  paid  to  the  regiment  in  different  communica- 
tions addressed  to  it  by  His  Excellency  the  Governor,  during  its  term 
of  service  in  1861,  encourage  a  belief  that  he  will  again  order  it  into  the 
field,  so  soon  as  it  is  recruited  to  the  number  which  it  appears  now  ob- 
ligatory for  a  regiment  to  bear  on  its  rolls,  before  it  can  be  accepted. 


NEWBURYPOET   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1862.  79 

Commanders  of  companies  will  make  weekly  reports  of  the  number  of 
men  on  their  rolls,  and  will  without  delay  promulgate  this  order  to  their 
respective  commands.  The  assurance  that  the  regiments  will  be  ac- 
cepted for  nine  months'  service  and  placed  in  camp,  if  recruited  in  sea- 
son, has  been  received  from  the  commander-in-chief  this  afternoon. 
By  command  of  Col.  Frederick  J.  Coffin. 

Edward  L.  Notes,  Adjutant. 

Active  measures  were  immediately  taken  to  recruit  the 
Gushing  Guards  to  the  maximum  standard  required  by  the 
government.  The  armory  was  open  every  evening  for  drill 
and  the  enrollment  of  new  members. 

At  a  meeting  of  some  of  the  citizens  to  consider  the  best 
method  of  raising  the  quota  of  nine  months'  men,  and  to

W.  Jackman,  Jr.,  David  Wood,  Robert  Bay  ley,  William  Gushing,

mittee announced  that  distinguished  speakers  would  address 
the  citizens  upon  the  present  national  crisis;  that  the  Salem 
Band  would  be  present  at  each  meeting,  and  that  the  bells  of 
the  city  would  ring  one  half-hour  to  notify  the  citizens  and 
invite  them  to  be  present. 

August  12th  (Tuesday).  A  large  and  enthusiastic  war 
meeting  was  held  at  the  City  Hall  in  the  evening.  Alderman 
George  J.  George  called  the  meeting  to  order,  and  introduced

cruiting paper  was  circulated,  and  quite  a  number  of  names 
secured  for  the  companies  organizing  for  nine  months'  ser- 
vice. 

August  19th  (Tuesday).  The  first  of  the  series  of  war 
meetings  arranged  by  the  committee  of  citizens  was  held  on 
the  mall  during  the  afternoon.     A  large  platform  had  been

erected  opposite  the  Putnam  School  for  the  accommodation  of 
the  speakers,  the  invited  guests,  and  the  band.  At  half-past 
three,  as  announced,  the  bells  of  the  city  began  to  ring  to 
notify  the  citizens  and  invite  their  presence.  The  attendance 
was  large  and  enthusiastic.  Capt,  David  Wood  called  the 
meeting  to  order,  and,  after  stating  the  object  in  calling  the 
citizens  together,  announced  Ex-Alderman  Philip  K.  Hills  as 
chairman,  and  Mr.  John  James  Currier  as  secretary.  Mr.  Hills 
appealed  earnestly  to  the  young  men  of  the  city  to  respond  to 
the  call  of  the  President  and  fill  the  quota  of  the  city.  Rev. 
James  N.  Sykes  of  the  Congress  Street  Church,  WilUam  H. 
Huse,  Esq.,  of  the  Newbury  port  Herald,  Mr.  Edmund  C. 
Pearson,  a  recruit.  Dr.  Hubbard  of  Boston,  and  Rev.  Randolph

Hall  in  the  evening  was  very  large,  hundreds  going  away  un- 
able to  gain  admission.  Mayor  George  W.  Jackman,  Jr.,  pre- 
siding, introduced  Wilham  L.  G.  Green,  Esq.,  Mr.  Calvin  M. 
Woodward,  George  Burns,  Esq.,  of  Boston,  and  Hon.  William 
D.  Northend  of  Salem. 

August  20ih  (Wednesday).  The  second  war  meeting,  or 
third  of  the  series,  was  held  on  the  mall  in  the  afternoon,  Mr. 
William  Thurston  presiding.  Addresses  were  made  by  Ralph 
C.  Huse,  Jr.,  Edgar  C.  Rundlett,  and  Edmund  C.  Pearson,  all  re- 
cruits who  had  enlisted  under  the  last  call  for  troops;  also  by 
Wilham  H.  Pearson  and  Rev.  Samuel  J.  Spalding,  D.D.  The 
City  Hall  in  the  evening  was  packed  with  an  appreciative 
audience,  who  hstened  to  Professor  Patterson  of  Dartmouth 
College,  Rev.  Mr.  Van  Meter  of  New  York,  Mr.  George  C.  Spurr 
of  Boston,  and  Lieutenant  A.  P.  Pierce,  U.S.A.

sembly, and  urged  the  young  men  of  the  city  to  enlist  and 
fill  the  quota. 

At  the  City  Hall  in  the  evening  the  gathering  was  more 
enthusiastic   and  patriotic   than   any   that  had  preceded  it. 


NEWBUKYPOKT   IN    THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1862.  81 

Hon.  Alexander  H.  Bullock,  Rev.  Elias  Nason,  and  Hon.  John 
B.  Alley,  spoke  eloquently  and  earnestly  in  support  of  the 
President  and  the  National  Government.  Great  excitement 
prevailed.  Volunteer  after  volunteer  signed  the  enlistment 
roll,  and  urged  others  to  do  the  same. 

Commonwealth  op  Massachusetts, 
Headquarters,  Boston,  August  21st,  1862. 
General  Order  No.  38. 

Whereas,  The  provisions  of  the  statutes  of  this  Commonwealth  are 
defective  for  the  purpose  of  carrying  into  effect  the  draft  of  militia  under 
the  order  of  the  President  of  the  United  States,  bearing  date  August  4th, 
1862,  It  is  therefore  ordered, 

First,  That  the  quota  of  a  draft  of  three  hundred  thousand  militia, 
to  be  called  into  the  service  of  the  United  States  to  serve  for  the  period 
of  nine  months,  unless  sooner  discharged,  which  the  State  of  Massachu- 
setts has  been  required  to  furnish,  to  wit,  nineteen  thousand  and  eighty 
men,  be  raised  by  a  draft,  which  will  be  conducted  in  conformity  with 
the  regulations  of  the  War  Department  of  the  United  States  contained 
in  General  Order  No.  99  of  said  Department,  bearing  date  August  9th, 
1862,  a  copy  of  which  is  published  with,  and  as  a  part  of,  the  present 
order  (marked  A). 

Second,  It  is  further  ordered,  That  the  assessors  of  the  several  towns 
and  cities  use  all  possible  dispatch  in  completing  and  returning  the  new 
enrollment  in  the  manner  heretofore  ordered,  which  is  in  no  respect 
modified  by  this  order. 

Third,  And  that  the  selectmen  of  the  several  towns,  and  mayors 
and  aldermen  of  the  several  cities,  immediately  return  to  the  office  of 
the  adjutant-general  a  sworn  statement  of  the  names  and  number  of 
their  inhabitants  who  have  heretofore  been  mustered  into  the  service 
of  the  United  States,  whose  stipulated  term  of  service  has  not  expired, 
with  the  companies  and  regiments  into  which  they  have  been  enlisted. 
This  return  is  directed  in  order  that  the  draft  may  be  equalized  as  far 
as  possible,  and  the  towns  and  cities  which  have  heretofore  furnished 
more  men  than  their  just  proportion  may  have  due  allowance  for  the 
same  in  the  draft. 

Fourth,  Commissioners  to  superintend  drafting  in  each  county  will 
be  forthwith  appointed,  and  surgeons  to  determine  claims  of  exemption 
on  account  of  disability.  These  officers  will  receive  minute  instructions 
from  the  commander-in-chief  as  to  the  mode  of  executing  their  respec- 
tive duties. 

Fijth,  Copies  of  the  enrollment  list  for  each  town  and  city  will  be 
kept  in  the  office  of  the  town  or  city  clerk  for  inspection.  The  copies  to 
be  returned  to  the  adjutant-general  will  be  filed  with  the  sheriff  of  the 
several  counties  for  two  days  previous  to  the  commencement  of  drafting 
in  any  city  or  town. 


82  NEWBURYPORT    IN    THE    CIVIL   WAR,  1862. 

Sixth,  The  commissioners  and  surgeons  will  themselves  appoint 
times  and  places  for  receiving  and  determining  claims  for  exemption, 
conformably  to  the  regulations  of  the  War  Department,  and  all  exemp- 
tions must  be  then  and  there  claimed  and  determined,  and  not  after- 
wards; but  all  exemptions  known  to  the  commissioners  to  exist,  will  be 
allowed,  whether  claimed  or  not. 

Seventh,  After  all  not  liable  to  draft  have  been  stricken  from  the 
list  in  any  town  or  city  by  the  commissioner,  he  will  at  once  report  the 
number  remaining  thereon  to  the  adjutant-general,  who  will  proceed  to 
fix  the  exact  quota  of  said  to\Mi  or  city,  and  under  the  commissioner  to 
make  a  draft  for  the  same  in  the  manner  prescribed  in  the  regulations  of 
the  War  Department. 

Eighth,  Rendezvous  and  commandants  of  the  same  will  be  season- 
ably appointed. 

Ninth,  The  drafting  will  commence  in  accordance  with  the  order  of 
the  War  Department,  dated  August  4th,  1862,  which  is  herewith  published 
as  a  part  of  this  ordei  (marked  B). 

Tenth,  The  instructions  relating  to  enrollment  promulgated  through 
the  State  Department  are  herewith  republished  for  the  information  of  all. 

Eleventh,  Although  everj'  arrangement  will  be  made  as  speedily  as 
possible  to  execute  this  draft,  —  and  the  same  will  be  promptly  and 
rigidly  carried  out  in  any  place  which  fails  to  furnish  volunteers  to  the 
number  of  its  quota  of  militia,  —  yet  the  municipal  authorities  and  citi- 
zens of  Massachusetts  are  earnestly  exhorted  to  furnish  at  once  the  req- 
uisite number  of  volunteers  in  order  to  avoid  wherever  possible,  and  if 
possible  everywhere,  any  necessity  for  drafting. 

To  this  end  the  adjutant-general  will  at  once  pubhsh  for  the  infor- 
mation of  the  people  an  approximate  estimate  of  the  number  of  men  due 
from  each  place,  although  an  accurate  statement  cannot  be  made  until 
the  enrollment  is  completed,  and  the  names  of  all  not  liable  to  draft 
have  been  stricken  out.  To  prevent  all  misunderstanding,  notice  is  given 
that  all  companies  of  volunteer  militia  which  do  not  volunteer  will  be 
disbanded  before  the  exemptions  are  arranged  upon  the  enrollment  lists. 
This  course  is  rendered  necessary  because  otherwise  the  members  of  the 
volunteer  companies  would  be  exempt  from  draft. 

The  commander-in-chief  has  never  for  a  moment  doubted  that  the 
patriotism  of  the  people  of  IMassachusetts,  already  illustrated  by  so  much 
devotedness  to  the  cause  of  their  country  from  the  beginning  of  the 
present  strviggle,  would  voluntarily  furnish  all  the  support  of  means  and 
of  men  which  the  exigencies  of  the  service  and  their  duty  may  require. 
Nor  does  he  believe  it  now  doubtful  that  volunteers  for  the  quota  re- 
quired will  be  enlisted  as  rapidly  as  the  means  can  be  accumulated  for 
their  care,  equipment,  and  organization.  But,  as  from  the  first  it  has 
been  the  purpose  and  duty  of  the  State  Government  to  obey  all  lawful 
orders  emanating  from  the  President  and  the  Department  of  War,  so 
now  it  is  the  purpose  of  the  Governor  of  Massachusetts  faithfully  to 
pursue  the  directions  he  may  receive  in  this  behalf.     And  he  relies  on 


NEWBUKYPOKT    IN    THE    CIVIL    WAE,  1862.  83 

the  unshrinking  courage,  the  loyal  patriotism,  and  the  ancient  manly 
character  of  the  people  of  Massachusetts  for  all  the  support  and  encour- 
agement which  may  be  needed  in  the  future. 

By  command  of  His  Excellency,  John  A.  Andrew,  Governor  and 
Commander-in-Chief. 

William  Schouler,  Adjutant-General.

ments for  the  same. 


84  NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  18G2. 

August  30th  (Saturday).  The  first  military  funeral  held  in 
the  city  during  the  war  was  that  of  John  Black,  who  enlisted 
at  Newburyport,  Nov.  18th,  1861,  in  Company  C,  11th  Regi- 
ment Massachusetts  Infantry,  and  after  participating  in  the 
Peninsular  campaign  under  General  McClellan,  taking  part  in 
the  siege  of  Yorktown,  the  battles  of  Williamsburg,  Fair  Oaks, 
Glendale  and  Malvern  Hill,  he  was  discharged  for  disability, 
August  15th.  Returning  to  his  home,  he  survived  but  a  few 
days,  dying  August  29th. 

The  services  at  his  late  home  were  conducted  by  Rev.  O. 
S.  Butler,  after  which  a  procession  was  formed  under  the  es- 
cort of  the  Veteran  Artillery  Association,  Capt.  John  Burrill, 
consisting  of  the  city  government,  the  Gushing  Guards,  and 
the  newly  organized  company  commanded  by  Capt.  Eben  F. 
Stone.  The  remains  were  conducted  to  the  new  burial  ground, 
where  other  exercises  were  held,  consisting  of  prayer  by  Rev. 
O.  S.  Butler,  and  speaking  by  Rev.  Randolph  Campbell,  after 
which  the  remains  were  deposited  in  their  last  resting-place.

This  report,  because  of  its  being  an  official  document, 
made  in  response  to  an  order  from  the  adjutant-general's 
office,  and  because  of  its  having  been  used  in  a  tabulated 
statement  by  the  adjutant-general  in  his  report  for  1862,  to 
show  the  number  of  men  which  Newburyport  had  furnished 
for  three  years,  may  at  some  remote  period  be  regarded  as 
accurate  and  reliable.  It  is,  however,  a  very  imperfect  docu- 
ment, and  must  have  been  made  from  memory,  not  from  care- 
fully prepared  records  in  possession  of  the  city.  Many  cor- 
rections have  been  made  in  the  original  report  by  the  author, 
which  appear  against  the  names  in  parentheses  (  ). 

The  General  Order  referred  to,  called  for  "a  sworn  state- 
ment of  the  number  and  names  of  the  inhabitants  who  have 
heretofore  been  mustered  into  the  service  of  the  United  States, 
whose  specified  term  of  service  has  not  expired,"  etc. 

In  arranging  the  names  alphabetically,  it  was  discovered 
that  several  soldiers  were  reported  as  being  in  two  organiza- 
tions; and  by  referring  to  the  individual  records  of  those 
whose  names  are  embraced  in  the  report,  it  was  ascertained 
that  one  hundred  and  fourteen  men  had  either  been  killed  in 
action,  died  of  wounds  or  disease,  or  been  discharged  for  dis- 
ability, previous  to  the  date  of  the  report;  while  the  names  of 
a  large  number  of  volunteers  who  were  at  the  time  serving  in 
both  the  army  and  navy  had  been  omitted,  notably  Capt. 
George  Creasey,  and  at  that  time  lieut.  George  Barker  of  the 
30th  Massachusetts  Infantry,  Benjamin  Houston,  Patrick  Wall, 
and  John  Lockery  of  the  11th  Massachusetts  Infantry,  and 
Albert  Richardson,  Paul  A.  Perkins,  James  Finn,  and  John 
McKnight  of  the  17th  Massachusetts  Infantry,  while  Daniel  D. 
Aubin,  Alvin  Armitage,  Jacob  W.  Cram,  Charles  L.  Fleury, 
George  W.   Greenough,  Joseph  C.  Pettingell,  Henry  C.  Rich, 


NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1862.  93 

and  about  fifty  others,  who  were  serving  in  the  United  States 
Navy,  with  a  much  larger  number  in  the  army,  were  not  in- 
cluded in  the  report. 

It  is  not  strange  that  the  errors  noted  should  have  found 
their  way  into  this  return.  Evidently  there  was  but  little  or 
no  effort  made  by  the  city  officers  to  keep  a  record  of  the  en- 
listments or  of  the  service  of  the  soldiers  and  sailors  who 
went  from  the  city  during  the  war.  Indeed,  aside  from  the 
books  of  record  of  the  city  council,  there  is  practically  noth- 
ing relating  to  the  work  done  by  the  city  during  those  event- 
ful years.  Not  a  copy  of  a  single  report  or  of  an  official  letter 
is  on  file;  while  nothing  can  be  found  in  the  treasurer's  office 
relating  in  the  remotest  degree  to  the  large  amount  of  money 
paid  by  the  city  for  bounties,  or  for  aid  to  the  families  of 
volunteers.  The  importance  of  preserving  such  a  record  seems 
not  to  have  been  considered. 

September  1st  (Monday).  In  board  of  aldermen,  the  mayor 
was  authorized  to  draw  his  order  for  such  a  sum  of  money  "as 
shall  be  sufficient  to  defray  the  expenses  of  the  funeral  of 
John  Black,  late  a  volunteer  in  the  army  of  the  United  States, 
also  that  the  city  continue  the  payment  of  State  aid  to  the 
family  for  one  year  from  the  date  of  his  decease,  or  until 
otherwise  ordered  by  the  city  council." 

By  General  Order  No.  43,  from  the  adjutant-general's 
office,  dated  Sept.  1st,  1862,  it  was  ordered:  That  exemptions 
claimed  for  disability  must  be  certified  to  by  a  surgeon  ap- 
pointed by  the  governor  for  that  purpose.  Among  those  ap- 
pointed for  Essex  County  was  Henry  C.  Perkins,  M.  D.,  of 
Newburyport. 

The  news  of  the  second  battle  of  Bull  Run  and  the  need 
of  hospital  supplies  at  Washington,  D.  C,  was  announced  in 
the  various  churches  on  Sunday. 

September  1st  (Monday).  Under  the  direction  of  the  Sol- 
diers' Aid  Association,  nearly  four  hundred  ladies  were  em- 
ployed at  City  Hall  in  preparing  lint  and  bandages  for  the 
army.  On  Tuesday  the  hall  was  crowded  with  ladies  engaged 
in  the  same  patriotic  work.  At  ten  a.m.  two  boxes  were  for- 
warded, and  before  night  four  others  followed,  all  containing 
hospital  stores  for  the  sick  and  wounded. 


94  NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1862. 

September  Ath  (Thursday).  An  order  was  adopted  by  the 
city  council 

Appropriating  such  sums  of  money  as  may  be  necessary  for  the 
temporary  relief  of  the  famiUes  of  those  volunteers  who  are  now  engaged 
in  the  army  of  the  United  States,  and  those  heretofore  engaged  in  said 
service  and  deceased,  also  those  who  may  be  hereafter  so  engaged. 

A  letter  from  the  adjutant-general's  office,  dated  Boston, 
September  10th,  informed  the  mayor  and  aldermen,  "That  the 
secretary  of  war  had  not  given  permission  to  credit  the  men 
in  the  naval  service  of  the  United  States  in  making  the  quota 
of  nine  months'  men."  Without  giving  such  credits,  the 
quota  of  Newburyport  was  one  hundred  and  fifty-six  (156) 
men. 

September  10th  (Wednesday).  The  company  recruited  and

The  8th  Regiment,  Massachusetts  Infantry  (militia),  was 
in  every  respect  an  Essex  County  organization.  It  was  or- 
ganized in  1855,  and  constituted  a  part  of  the  State  mihtia  at 
the  breaking  out  of  the  war.  It  served  in  the  three  months' 
campaign  in  1861,  and  was  again  recruited,  for  nine  months' 
service,  at  Camp  Stanton,  Boxford,  and  Camp  F.  W.  Lander, 
Wenham,  Mass.  On  Nov.  25th,  1862,  the  regiment  left  the 
State  for  North  Carolina,  where  it  arrived  on  the  30th.  Pro- 
ceeding to  New  Berne,  it  was  assigned  to  the  second  brigade, 
first  division,  commanded  by  Col.  Thomas  G.  Stephenson  of 
the  24th  Massachusetts  Infantry.  Companies  A  of  Newbury- 
port  and  E  of  Beverly  were  detached  from  the  regiment,  and 
assigned  to  garrison  duty  at  Roanoke  Island.  On  June  28th, 
1863,  the  regiment  was  ordered  to  Massachusetts  to  be  mus- 
tered out,  but  on  the  30th  was  sent  to  Baltimore,  and  assigned 
to  a  brigade  commanded  by  Brigadier-General  Briggs,  July  7th 
it  marched  to  Maryland  Heights,  and  on  the  13th  joined  the 
Army  of  the  Potomac  at  Funkstown,  and  was  assigned  to  the 
second  division,  First  Army  Corps,  where  it  remained  until 
July  26th,  when  it  was  ordered  home.  On  July  29th  the  regi- 
ment returned  to  Massachusetts,  and  was  mustered  out  Aug. 
7th,  1863. 


100  NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1862. 

September  16th  (Tuesday).    At  a  meeting  of  the  city  council 

A  bounty  of  $200  was  authorized  to  be  paid  to  each  of  those  volun- 
teers who,  as  citizens  of  Newburyport,  have  been  or  may  be  mustered 
into  the  service  of  the  United  States  previous  to  the  first  day  of  October 
next,  in  the  companies  commanded  by  Capt.  Eben  F.  Stone  and  Capt. 
Stephen  D.  Gardiner  for  the  term  of  nine  months. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  city  council  on  the  18th,  the  words  "Citi- 
zens of  Newburyport,"  as  expressed  above,  were  defined  as 
residents  of  Newburyport. 

September  21st  (Sunday).  Mayor  George  W.  Jackman,  Jr., 
to-day  received  the  following  dispatch  from  Baltimore,  Md.: 

Shall  leave  for  home  this  afternoon  with  the  body  of  Capt.  A.  W. 
Bartlett. 

(Signed)        George  W.  Creaset. 

September  22d  (Tuesday).  At  a  special  meeting  of  the 
city  government,  called  for  the  purpose  of  arranging  suitable 
funeral  honors  to  the  memory  of  Captain  Bartlett,  as  the 
commander  of  the  first  Newburyport  company  to  leave  for 
the  war,  and  the  first  commissioned  officer  from  the  city  killed 
in  action,  a  joint  special  committee,  consisting  of  Aldermen 
Nathaniel  Pierce  and  WilHam  H.  Huse,  and  Councilmen 
Charles  O.  Morse,  Joseph  G.  Gerrish,  and  Daniel  A.  W.  Per- 
kins, reported  the  following: 

Resolved,  That  the  city  coimcil  of  Newbur3^ort  has  learned  with 
deep  regret  of  the  decease  of  Albert  W.  Bartlett,  late  captain  of  Company 
B  of  the  35th  Massachusetts  Regiment,  who  has  fallen  in  the  late  battle 
near  Maryland  Heights. 

Resolved,  That  by  this  sad  event  the  country  has  lost  a  true  patriot, 
the  city  a  useful  and  enterprising  citizen,  our  militia  a  most  zealous, 
brave,  and  efficient  officer,  and  the  community  one  who,  in  aU  the  rela- 
tions of  life,  was  a  most  gentlemanly  and  honorable  man. 

Resolved,  That  the  bravery  and  patriotism  of  Captain  Bartlett  were 
equally  displayed  in  the  battle  in  which  he  fell,  and  when  as  captain  of 
Company  A  of  the  gallant  Eighth,  with  but  eighteen  men,  he  reported 
himself  ready  to  march  in  the  defense  of  the  capital ;  and  though  it  is 
appropriate  for  a  brave  man  to  die  leading  his  comrades  on  to  victory, 
yet  we  cannot  but  regret  that  his  bravery  and  services  in  the  cause  of 
the  right  should  be  lost  to  his  country. 

Resolved,  That  we  tender  our  sympathy  to  his  family  and  friends 
in  this  their  sad  hour  of  bereavement,  mitigated  only  by  the  reflection 
that  he  died  an  honorable  and  heroic  death. 


NEWBUKYPOET   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1862.  101 

Resolved,  That  the  city  clerk  transmit  a  copy  of  these  resolutions 
to  the  family  of  the  deceased,  and  that  they  be  entered  on  the  records 
of  the  city. 

A  general  committee  was  appointed  to  arrange  for  the 
funeral  ceremonies,  and  Aldermen  George  J.  George  and 
Winthrop  O.  Evans,  and  Councilmen  Jacob  G.  Brown,  Ralph 
C.  Huse,  and  William  P.  Plummer,  were  appointed  to  receive 
the  body  on  its  arrival  in  Boston,  and  accompany  it  to  New- 
buryport. 

On  the  arrival  of  the  remains  in  Newburyport  they  were 
taken  to  the  family  residence  on  Winter  Street,  where  they 
remained  until  noon,  when  they  were  conducted  to  the  City 
Hall,  and  guarded  by  a  detachment  from  the  Veteran  Artil- 
lery Association  until  the  hour  of  exercises  at  the  Pleasant 
Street  Church. 

The  following  account  of  the  funeral  of  Captain  Bartlett  is 
taken  from  the  Newburyport  Herald: 

Capt.  Albert  W.  Bartlett  was  buried  under  arms  on  Tuesday  after- 
noon. The  order  as  announced  was,  in  the  main,  observed  in  the  ob- 
sequies of  the  fallen  soldier.     It  was  as  follows:

The  remains  were  received  by  the  nine  o'clock  train  from  Boston, 
and  placed  in  the  City  Hall.  From  thence,  at  the  appointed  time,  they 
were  conveyed  to  the  Pleasant  Street  Church,  where  exercises  highly 
appropriate,  solemn,  and  touching  were  listened  to  by  as  many  as  could 
gain  admission,  —  a  much  larger  number  leaving  in  disappointment  for 
want  of  accommodation. 

The  addresses  by  Drs.  Vermilye  and  Spalding,  which  followed  the 
opening  prayer  and  reading  of  the  Scriptures,  were  brief  but  pertinent; 
neither  the  virtues  of  the  deceased,  nor  the  noble  example  he  had  set 
before  the  world,  were  forgotten.  He  had  started  at  the  first  call  of  his 
country,  when  as  yet  there  was  little  excitement  and  the  sympathies 
of  the  public  had  not  been  stirred.  The  capital,  it  was  announced,  was 
in  danger,  and  it  was  enough;  and  gathering  a  patriotic  company  by 
individual  effort,  he  at  once  reported  himself  with  his  comrades  ready 
for  any  duty  the  exigency  might  require.  So  it  had  been  again,  and 
yet  again;  and  now  having  been  brought  into  conflict  with  the  enemy 
in  the  hardest  fought  field,  and  in  the  hardest  fought  battle  of  that  field, 
he  had  fallen,  yielding  up  his  life  for  his  country  and  her  blood-bought 
institutions.  We  could  but  be  sad,  and  mourn  the  loss  of  a  true  soldier 
and  a  warm-hearted  patriot.  We  could  but  condole  with  the  bereaved 
friends,  weeping  wife  and  fatherless  child,  father  and  mother,  brother 
and  sister.  Still,  the  dark  cloud  had  a  silver  lining:  there  was  in  the 
deep  gloom  much  to  rejoice  over  and  quicken  to  duty.  The  only  com- 
missioned officer  who  had  gone  from  Newburyport,  fallen  in  battle  and 
been  brought  home  for  burial,  we  lamented;  but  his  life  was  a  noble 
sacrifice,  and  it  was  freely  offered,  and  so  it  would  be  regarded.  What- 
ever the  wants  of  the  nation  might  be,  whatever  the  requisitions  upon 
her  citizens,  they  would  be  responded  to;  and  it  was  such  unconquer- 
able purpose,  such  dauntless  courage,  such  lofty  patriotism  as  the  deceased 
had  evinced,  that  would  secure  such  a  result  hereafter.  But  it  was  more 
than  the  death  of  a  single  individual  we  deprecated.     Others  had  met 


NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1862.  103 

the  same  fate ;  and  many  had  been  wounded,  and  might  soon  be  reported 
beyond  the  reach  of  hope.  We  were,  however,  to  maintain  our  firmness 
and  be  confident  to  the  last. 

The  closing  exercises  at  the  church  was  a  dirge  by  Hall's  Boston 
Brass  Band,  which  seemed  a  fitting  finale  when  we  remember  that  the 
brave  man  breathed  out  his  expiring  breath  while  yet  "martial  sounds" 
fell  upon  his  ear,  drowning  the  groans  of  the  dying  comrades,  and  ren- 
dering his  last  moments  peaceful  and  exultant. 

The  body  was  deposited  in  Oak  Hill  Cemetery,  with  military  honors. 
After  it  had  been  placed  in  its  last  home,  a  dirge  was  played,  three  vol- 
leys were  fired,  friends  gazed  once  more  upon  the  receptacle  of  "the 
dear  dust,"  and  then  passed  away  to  scenes  which  when  animate  it  had 
filled  with  life  and  joy.  Whether  we  speak  of  what  occurred  at  the  grave, 
in  the  church,  or  in  reference  to  the  general  arrangements  for  the  fu- 
neral, we  may  say  all  was  done  that  affection  could  ask,  or  the  purest 
patriotism  merit.  Business  was  generally  suspended,  the  schools  closed, 
stores  dressed  in  mourning,  flags  of  the  shipping  and  at  other  points 
placed  at  half-mast,  and  bouquets,  wreaths,  and  chaplets  brought  for- 
ward in  profusion  to  mark  the  sad  event  and  impress  it  upon  the  memory 
of  every  sympathetic  heart.  And  this  indeed  is  well.  We  cheer  the 
soldier  when  he  first  devotes  himself  to  the  cause  of  liberty  and  his  coun- 
try, and  we  give  him  a  hearty  welcome  when  his  term  of  service  expires 
and  he  comes  from  the  battlefield  again  to  engage  in  the  pursuits  of 
peace;  or,  if  it  be  his  fate  to  die  in  the  conflict,  he  has  earned  the  glory 
which  ever  crowns  a  patriot's  grave;  and  that  man  is  a  traitor,  or  a 
villain,  or  both,  who  is  not  proud  to  acknowledge  it. 

The  Daily  Herald  of  the  same  date  editorially  said  : 

Our  community  was  filled  with  sadness  on  Sunday  afternoon,  by 
a  telegram  from  Baltimore  announcing  that  Captain  Bartlett  of  Com- 
pany B,  35th  Regiment,  was  dead,  and  his  remains  then  on  the  way 
home  for  burial.  The  messenger  with  the  corpse  was  expected  here 
last  evening  or  this  morning,  and  the  funeral  will  be  on  Tuesday  after- 
noon. This  was  the  first  news  of  the  casualty,  and  we  have  few  par- 
ticulars. It  is  probable  that  Captain  Bartlett  was  killed  in  the  battle 
of  Wednesday,  and  perhaps  the  body  was  not  recovered  till  Thursday, 
or  the  fact  would  have  been  reported  with  the  casualties  to  other  offi- 
cers. 

Captain  Bartlett  was  a  young  man,  but  thirty  years  old,  and  leaves 
a  wife  and  one  child.  He  had  much  military  taste,  and  for  many 
years  had  been  connected  with  the  volunteer  militia,  holding  the  posi- 
tion of  captain  when  the  rebellion  commenced.  He  was  one  of  the  first 
to  answer  the  call  of  the  President  for  75,000  men  to  defend  the  capital. 
His  orders  were  received  late  in  the  afternoon,  and  he  reported  the  next 
morning.     He  served  honorably  during  the  three  months;    and  the  acts 


104  NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1862. 

of  tlie  8th  Regiment  are  known  to  the  country  and  the  world,  for  at 
the  time  their  praises  were  on  all  tongues,  and  in  all  papers  at  home  and 
abroad.  The  regiment  had  a  public  reception  in  Bo-ston,  and  the  Gush- 
ing Guards  was  in  the  same  manner  received  here.  As  they  were  not 
again  called  into  service,  Captain  Bartlett  was  at  home  a  full  year;  but 
when  during  that  period  the  alarm  was  sounded  that  the  capital  was 
again  in  danger,  at  the  time  of  Banks'  retreat,  he  called  his  men  out 
at  dead  of  night,  and  with  full  ranks  they  reached  Boston  in  the  first 
train  of  cars.  Ever  was  he  ready  to  serve  his  country  —  to  fight  its 
battles;  and  he  would  not  have  been  absent  from  the  camp  or  field  a 
day,  if  he  could  have  avoided  it.  At  the  last  call  for  three  years'  men, 
he  aided  in  recruiting  Company  B,  of  the  35th  Regiment,  and  was  elected 
their  captain,  and  hastened  to  the  conflict.  In  less  than  four  weeks 
from  leaving  this  city  he  was  dead.  He  fell  where  he  would  have  wished 
to  die,  at  the  head  of  his  brave  men,  fighting  for  the  Constitution  and 
the  Union:  he  died  where  he  would  have  wished  to  die,  where  the  boom- 
ing of  cannons  sounded  his  requiem,  and  the  cry  of  victory  cheered  his 
last  moments.  Brave  man,  farewell!  Peace,  an  eternal  peace  to  thee! 
Friends  will  lament  thee;  acquaintances  will  recall  thy  generous  and 
manly  qualities;  and  a  grateful  country  will  enroll  thy  name  on  the 
list  of  martyrs  who  died  for  freedom. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  officers  of  the  8th  Regiment,  M.  V.  M., 
held  at  their  regimental  headqiiarters,  at  Camp  Stanton,  Box- 
ford,  September  24th,  the  following  resolutions  were  unani- 
mously adopted: 

Resolved,  That  we,  the  officers  of  the  8th  Regiment,  M.  V.  M.,  now 
in  the  United  States  service,  have  heard  with  sadness  of  the  death  of 
our  old  companion  in  arms,  Capt.  Albert  W.  Bartlett  of  Newburyport, 
late  captain  in  the  35th  Regiment  Massachusetts  Volunteers,  who  was 
killed  in  the  battle  of  Antietam  September  17th,  bravely  fighting  at  the 
head  of  his  company. 

Resolved,  That  we  fully  appreciate  the  patriotism  and  perseverance 
which  on  the  first  call  of  the  President  led  him,  In  the  face  of  obstacles 
which  none  of  the  rest  of  us  had  to  encounter,  to  hurry  forward  with  a 
handful  of  men,  relying  on  the  justice  of  his  cause,  and  sober  reflections 
of  his  fellow-citizens,  for  the  filling  up  of  his  ranks. 

Resolved,  That  we  remember  with  pleasure  his  frank  and  cordial 
manners,  and  bear  witness  to  his  ability  as  an  officer,  to  his  promptness, 
his  reliability,  and  especially  to  his  great  modesty,  with  the  utmost  sat- 
isfaction. We  believe  that  no  officer  in  our  regiment  was  more  esteemed 
by  his  companions  or  respected  by  his  command. 

Resolved,  That  to  his  many  mourning  relatives  and  friends  we  de- 
sire to  extend  all  the  sympathy  which  these  or  which  any  words,  how- 
ever fitly  spoken,  might  freely  express. 


NEWBURYPOKT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1862.  105 

Captain  Bartlett  is  no  more:  to  our  righteous  cause  he  gave  "all 
that  he  had,"  —  his  life.  Let  us  as  brother  soldiers  in  the  impending 
conflict  keep  his  memory  green.  Goodwin  and  Bartlett  have  gone  be- 
fore; others  probably  soon  must  follow;  but  whatever  we  do,  or  what- 
ever we  suffer,  let  us,  like  them,  remember 

"God  and  our  native  land." 

James  Hudson,  Jr., 
Captain  Company  F,  Chairman. 
David  W.  Low,  Captain  ^Company  G,  Secretary. 

The  death  of  Captain  Bartlett  was  not  known  until  after 
the  battle  had  ended.  He  was  killed  after  dark  on  the  even- 
ing of  September  17th,  near  what  is  known  as  Burnside's 
bridge  while  the  regiment  occupied  the  advanced  position 
near  the  lane,  and  before  it  had  withdrawn  to  the  shelter 
of  the  rising  ground.  This,  however,  was  not  known  until 
Friday  morning,  as  the  field  between  the  regiment  and 
the  rebel  line,  a  distance  of  about  five  hundred  feet,  over 
which  the  regiment  had  retired  after  dark,  was  strewn  with 
the  dead  and  dying  of  both  armies.  Neither  would  per- 
mit the  other  to  visit  it.  The  last  seen  of  the  captain  was  after 
the  darkness  had  closed  in  upon  the  terrible  scene  of  the  after- 
noon. He  walked  along  the  line  to  the  left,  and  stood  for 
quite  a  time  in  conversation  with  Captain  King;  as  he  turned 
to  go  to  his  own  company,  he  remarked,  "Captain,  my  men 
are  being  terribly  cut  up."  His  body  was  found  near  where 
the  conversation  was  held,  among  the  dead  of  Company  K, 
which  accounts  for  his  not  having  been  seen  by  the  men  of 
his  own  company  after  he  fell.  The  body  contained  four 
wounds,  —  one  in  the  right  thigh,  another  in  the  right  arm, 
the  third  in  the  right  side,  while  the  fourth  shattered  the  left 
leg  below  the  knee.  As  the  position  occupied  by  the  body 
was  commanded  by  a  cross-fire  from  a  rebel  battery,  it  is 
presumed  that  all  the  wounds  were  received  at  the  same  time. 
The  body  was  first  discovered  by  Colonel  Provost  of  the  118th 
Pennsylvania  Infantry,  who  was  in  command  of  the  skirmish 
line  which  advanced  early  Friday  morning.  The  remains  were 
soon  in  the  hands  of  friends.  Not  far  from  where  the  body  of 
the  captain  lay,  and  in  rear  of  the  position  occupied  by  Com- 
pany B,  were  the  remains  of  David  R.  Hinkley,  Alphonso  P.

Reed,  and  Caleb  C.  Pike,  all  of  Company  B.  Jeremiah  Long, 
Jr.,  who  was  killed  by  a  shell  or  solid  shot  striking  him  in  the 
head,  was  not  identified.  George  W.  Hodgdon  was  doubtless 
severely  wounded,  and  died  at  some  field  hospital,  as  his  body 
could  not  be  found.  All  the  wounded  of  Company  B  were  at 
this  time  being  cared  for  at  the  hospitals  in  the  rear  of  the 
lines,  excepting  Corp.  Wilham  C.  Colby  and  Joseph  Cossar, 
who  were  both  mortally  wounded  and  remained  on  the  field. 

The  casualties  among  the  soldiers  from  Newburyport  were 
greater  during  the  Maryland  campaign  under  General  McClel- 
lan  than  at  any  period  of  the  war.  The  week  embracing  the 
battles  of  South  Mountain  and  Antietam  was  one  of  painful 
anxiety,  bringing  sadness  and  desolation  to  many  hearts  and 
homes.  The  35th  Regiment,  in  which  so  many  men  from 
Newburyport  had  enlisted,  left  the  State  August  22d,  and  was 
immediately  sent  to  the  Army  of  the  Potomac.  In  less 
than  four  weeks  from  time  of  its  leaving  home,  it  had  been 
actively  engaged  in  both  of  the  battles  mentioned,  and  eleven 
men  from  this  city  had  been  killed  or  died  of  wounds,  and 
twenty-eight  wounded;  while  in  the  19th  Massachusetts  In- 
fantry, two  men  from  this  city  were  killed  and  three  wounded, 
and  one  from  the  1st  Company  of  Massachusetts  Sharpshooters 
killed.

The  sad  news  received  from  the  battlefields  of  South 
Mountain  and  Antietam  prompted  Postmaster  Nathan  A. 
Moulton  and  Mr.  Eben  Manson  to  start  immediately  for  the 
front,  to  assist  in  any  way  possible  the  soldiers  from  Newbury- 
port  who  were  wounded  or  sick  in  hospital,  and  to  visit  the 
men  from  this  city  in  the  35th  Regiment.  In  company  with 
Sergt.  George  W.  Creasey  they  arrived  in  Baltimore  and  vis- 
ited the  Stewart  Mansion,  West  Warehouse,  and  McKim's 
hospitals,  at  each  of  which  places  Newburyport  men  were 
found.  They  also  visited  the  hospitals  in  Frederick  City, 
Middletown,  Boonsboro,  Keedysville,  Md.,  and  the  field  hos- 
pitals near  Antietam,  distributing  at  each  place  a  portion  of 
the  supplies  brought  from  home.  Their  advent  among  those 
who  were  suffering  in  hospital  was  hailed  with  expressions  of 
joy,  while  the  delicacies  distributed  were  received  with  grate- 
ful hearts.  Their  kindness  of  heart  will  always  be  remembered 
by  those  who  were  consoled  by  their  sympathy,  enlivened  by 
their  cheerfulness,  and  assisted  by  their  liberality. 

October  Qth  (Monday).  At  a  meeting  of  the  city  council 
the  following  resolutions,  introduced  by  Alderman  William  H. 
Huse,  were  unanimously  adopted: 

Whereas,  It  has  come  to  the  knowledge  of  the  city  government  that 
Corp.  William  C.  Colby  of  Companj^  B,  35th  Regiment  of  Massachusetts 
Volunteers,  died  at  Boonsboro,  Md.,  on  the  third  instant,  from  wounds 
received  at  the  battle  of  Antietam,  therefore 

Resolved,  That  by  his  death  the  city  of  Newburyport  loses  a  worthy 


108  NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   ClYTL   WAR,  1862, 

and  patriotic  citizen,  who  has  laid  doT\Ti  his  life  in  defense  of  the  govern- 
ment, and  whose  name  deserves  remembrance  as  a  martyr  in  the  cause 
of  constitutional  liberty,  which  was  dearer  to  him  than  life  itself. 

Resolved,  That  we  hereby  tender  our  sympathies  to  the  widow  of 
the  deceased,  and  the  friends  who  are  called  to  mourn  his  early  death. 

Resolved,  That  these  resolutions  be  entered  upon  the  records  of  the 
city  in  honor  of  the  man,  that  a  copy  of  the  same  be  presented  to  the 
family  of  the  deceased,  and  as  a  further  token  of  respect  the  city  govern- 
ment will  attend  his  funeral,  and  during  the  funeral  ceremonies  display 
the  flag  for  which  he  fought  at  half-mast  on  the  City  Hall. 

A  committee,  consisting  of  Aldermen  William  H.  Huse  and 
George  J.  George,  and  Councilmen  William  H.  Johnson,  Jacob 
G.  Brown,  and  Moses  Pettingell,  Jr.,  was  appointed  to  make 
arrangements  for  the  funeral. 

The  city  council  also  provided  that  all  volunteers  from  the 
city  who  were  not  commissioned  officers,  who  had  been  or 
should  thereafter  be  discharged  from  the  army  for  disability 
contracted  while  in  the  service,  might  receive  aid  from  the 
city  not  to  exceed  $12  per  month,  at  the  discretion  of  the 
Relief  Committee.  At  the  same  meeting  the  Veteran  Artillery 
Association  was  given  the  custody  of  the  two  field-pieces 
belonging  to  the  State. 

October  7th  (Tuesday).  The  funeral  of  Corp.  William  C. 
Colby  of  Company  B,  35th  Regiment  Massachusetts  Infantry, 
who  died  at  Boonsboro,  Md.,  from  wounds  received  at  Antie- 
tam,  took  place  from  the  Christian  Chapel  on  Court  Street. 

The  attendance  was  very  large,  the  people  surrounding  the  church  for 
hours  before  the  time.  The  exercises  at  the  church  were  marked  by  the 
deepest  solemnity,  and  the  remarks  of  Rev.  Daniel  P.  Pike  were  listened 
to  with  the  closest  attention.  The  deceased  was  a  man  of  generous 
feelings,  and  had  attached  to  him  many  warm  friends,  who  will  long 
remember  and  sincerely  mourn  him.  In  the  procession  to  the  grave 
were  the  city  government,  the  United  States  officers  in  town,  the  firemen, 
and  many  soldiers. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Engineers  of  the  city,  the  following 
preamble  and  resolutions  were  unanimously  adopted :  — 

Whereas,  The  mournful  event  of  the  death  of  Corp.  William  C.  Colby, 
late  a  member  of  this  Board,  who  fell  while  gallantly  fighting  for  his 
country,  at  the  battle  of  Antietam,  on  the  17th  day  of  September  last, 
demands  from  us  a  suitable  record  of  the  feelings  of  sorrow  engendered 


NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1862.  109 

in  our  hearts  by  the  loss  of  one  whom,  now  that  he  is  no  more,  it  is  our 
sad  privilege  to  mourn:  therefore,  be  it 

Resolved,  That  in  the  death  of  Corp.  William  C.  Cblby,  the  coimtry 
has  lost  the  services  of  a  brave  and  faithful  soldier,  the  Fire  Depart- 
ment a  faithful  member,  and  we  a  devoted  friend. 

Resolved,  That  we  deeply  deplore  the  death  of  our  late  friend  and 
companion,  and  we  beg  leave  to  tender  our  heartfelt  sympathy  and 
condolence  to  his  widow  and  relatives;  and  although  we  shall  see  his 
manly  form  no  more  among  us,  we  console  ourselves  with  the  reflection 
that  his  spirit  is  now  in  a  better  world,  while  the  memory  of  his  many 
virtues  will  long  be  cherished  in  our  hearts.

October  9th  (Thursday).  The  mayor  was  authorized  by  the 
city  council  to  pay  the  bounty  of  $200  to  five  men  belonging 
to  the  company  commanded  by  Capt.  Stephen  D.  Gardiner, 
and  the  same  amount  to  two  men  in  the  company  commanded 
by  Capt.  Eben  F.  Stone,  the  parties  having  enlisted  previous 
to  the  first  day  of  October,  but  not  mustered  into  the  United 
States  service  until  after  that  date;  the  order  passed  Septem- 
ber 16th  paying  a  bounty  of  $200  to  volunteers  having  expired 
by  limitation  October  1st. 

October  22d  (Wednesday).  The  remains  of  Andrew  J.  Nash 
of  Company  B,  35th  Massachusetts  Infantry,  who  died  at 
Middleton,  Md.,  September  25th,  from  wounds  received  in  the 
battle  at  South  Mountain,  arrived  in  the  city.  Funeral  ser- 
vices were  conducted  by  Rev.  Daniel  P.  Pike  at  the  Christian 
Chapel  on  Court  Street. 

November  22.  General  Order  No.  58  by  the  governor,  or- 
dering a  draft  to  be  made  on  the  8th  of  December,  gave  a 
schedule  by  which  it  appeared  that  in  this  city 

The  whole  number  of  non-exempts  by  the  Commissioners'  returns 

was 1,564 

Whole  number  of  non-exempts  in  three  years'  service 548 

Liable  to  draft 1,016

110  NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CI\nL   WAR,  1862. 

November  24th  (Monday).  At  a  meeting  of  the  city  council 
the  mayor  was  authorized  to  draw  his  order  on  the  city  treas- 
urer for  a  sum  of  money  to  pay  the  funeral  expenses  of  An- 
drew J.  Nash,  formerly  a  private  in  Company  B,  35th  Regi- 
ment Massachusetts  Volunteer  Infantry. 

Colonel  Fry,  provost-marshal-general  of  the  United  States, 
having  changed  his  original  decisions  allowing  credit  for  sur- 
plus men  furnished  by  the  cities  and  towns,  the  draft  for  the 
nine  months'  men  was  ordered  to  proceed  as  though  no  surplus 
existed.  Newburyport  had  furnished,  exclusive  of  naval  en- 
listments, five  hundred  and  eighty-five  men  for  three  years, 
thirty-seven  men  in  excess  of  all  demand  made  upon  the  city. 
This  surplus  the  government  having  refused  to  consider  when 
the  quota  of  nine  months'  men  was  being  recruited,  left  a 
deficiency  on  the  first  of  December  of  over  fifty  men.  The 
city  council  at  its  meeting  December  1st  authorized  the  mayor 

To  offer  and  pay  a  bounty  of  $200  per  man  for  a  sufficient  number 
of  men  to  answer  the  requisition  upon  the  city  for  nine  months'  service, 
under  the  recent  apportionment,  and  that  he  take  such  measures  as  he 
shall  deem  expedient  for  raising  said  men. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  city  council  held  December  3,  the 
bounty  of  $200  was  made  to  apply  to  all  volunteers  enlisting 
for  nine  months'  or  three  years'  service. 

December  Sd  (Wednesday).  The  city  council  chose  a  com- 
mittee consisting  of  Aldermen  Nathaniel  Pierce,  George  J. 
George,  and  Councilmen  Curtis  French,  Ralph  C.  Huse,  and 
Stephen  M.  Pillsbury, 

To  confer  with  the  commissioners  appointed  to  allow  exempts  upon 
the  mihtary  rolls  of  this  district,  and  to  do  and  to  perform  any  and  all 
service  required  to  perfect  the  enrollment  list  of  this  city,  in  such  a  man- 
ner as  will  fully  and  plainly  exhibit  the  exempts  to  which  the  city  is 
entitled,  and  generally  to  do  all  other  acts  necessary  for  a  compliance 
with  General  Order  No.  58. 

December  SOth  (Tuesday).     The  city  government  ordered 

That  the  Relief  Committee  pay  to  the  families  of  deceased  volunteers 
the  amount  of  State  Aid  said  families  would  have  been  entitled  to  re- 
ceive had  they  continued  in  service,  until  such  families  shall  receive  the 
pension  passed  by  the  Congress  of  the  United  States,  July  14th,  1862.

Mayor  Boardman  in  his  inaugural  address  made  the  follow- 
ing allusion  to  our  national  affairs: 

It  has  fallen  to  our  lot  to  be  called  to  manage  the  municipal  affairs 
of  our  city,  in  this,  as  it  appears  to  me,  the  most  critical  period  of  our 
nation's  history;  for  contrary  to  the  most  cherished  hopes  and  sanguine 
expectations  indulged  by  us  all  at  the  commencement  of  the  year  just 
closed,  the  dark  cloud  of  war  still  hangs  over  our  beloved  country,  and 
our  citizens  are  still  required  by  the  National  Government  to  go  forth  to 
mortal  combat  against  those  once  our  brethren. 

To  all  the  demands  which  have  been  made  upon  our  city,  whether 
for  men  or  means,  nobly  has  she  responded;  and  the  fair  fame  and  glori- 
ous record  of  our  fathers  has  suffered  no  blot  at  the  hands  of  their  sons. 
Out  of  a  population  of  less  than  thirteen  thousand,  we  have  already  sent 
into  the  field  nine  hundred  and  one  (901)  men,  and  ninety-five  (95)  of 
our  seamen  have  entered  the  naval  service.  The  oft  decimated  ranks  of 
our  companies  furnish  honorable  proof  that  they  have  been  foremost 

among  the  brave. 

*  Resigned.

January  4th  (Sunday).  Rev.  Samuel  J.  Spalding  of  the

a  sum  of  money  to  be  apphed  to  the  rehef  of  the  famUies  of  those  vol- 
unteers who  have  died,  or  may  die,  and  also  to  those  who  have  been  or 
may  be  discharged  permanently  disabled,  the  same  to  be  continued  for 
the  space  of  six  months  unless  a  pension  should  sooner  be  received,  or 
unless  further  State  legislation  shall  render  such  aid  unnecessary. 

February  4th  (Wednesday).  The  funeral  of  Elbridge 
Graves,  late  of  Company  A,  45th  Massachusetts  Infantry,  who 
died  at  Kinston,  N.  C,  December  17th,  from  wounds  received 
December  14th,  took  place  at  the  North  Church.  The  services 
were  most  solemn  and  impressive,  the  Rev.  Mr.  Campbell  of 
the  Prospect  Street  Church  reading  selections  of  Scripture,

dirge  from  the  Newburyport  Brass  Band,  after  which  a  pro- 
cession was  formed  under  the  escort  of  the  City  Cadets,  Capt.

(Mozart),  who  died  at  Falmouth,  Va.,  January  31st.  In  the 
absence  of  the  pastor,  Rev.  Mr.  Campbell  officiated.  The  pro- 
cession was  escorted  to  the  biu'ial-ground  on  Westley  Street 
by  the  City  Cadets,  accompanied  by  the  Newburyport  Band, 
where  the  ceremonies  were  concluded  by  a  dirge  and  the 
military  salute. 

February  12th  (Thursday).  The  obsequies  of  Jeremiah 
Downs,  who  enlisted  from  this  city  in  the  McClellan  Guards, 
were  attended  at  the  Pleasant  Street  Church  this  afternoon, 
Rev.  A.  B.  Muzzey  conducting  the  services.  In  his  address  he 
referred  to  the  testimonials  of  good  character  and  good  con- 
duct the  deceased  had  received  from  the  officers  of  his  com- 
pany, how  bravely  and  how  firmly  he  had  stood  the  shock  of 
battle,  and  finally,  when  unable  by  sickness  to  meet  the  rigors 
of  camp  life,  he  was  transferred  to  hospital,  where,  w^hile 
ministering  to  the  comforts  of  others,  he  contracted  disease 
that  cost  him  his  life. 

The  number  of  families  receiving  aid  from  the  city  on  ac- 
count of  those  who  have  enlisted  in  the  service  of  the  United 
States  as  part  of  the  quota  of  the  city,  was  four  hundred  and 
thirty-four  (434).  The  disbursements,  amounting  to  eight 
hundred  and  sixty-one  (861)  dollars  weekly,  were  divided  as 
follows:  Ward  One,  82  families  receiving  $158;  Ward  Two,  63 
famihes  receiving  $133;  Ward  Three,  55  famihes  receiving 
$104;  Ward  Four,  73  families  receiving  $132;  Ward  Five,  90 
families  receiving  $183;  Ward  Six,  71  famihes  receiving  $151. 
Of  the  whole  number  of  families  receiving  assistance,  139  re- 
ceived $3  per  week,  151  received  $2  per  week,  and  142  received 
$1  per  week. 

March  2d  (Monday).  At  the  regular  meeting  of  the  city 
council,  the  mayor  laid  before  the  board  of  aldermen  a  tele- 
graphic message  from  C.  M.  Davis  at  Portland,  Me.,  notify- 
ing him  that  General  Wool  would  visit  Portsmouth,  N.  H.,  on 
the  3d  inst.,  and  would  like  to  meet  the  mayor  in  regard  to 
fortifications  at  the  mouth  of  the  Merrimack  River,  The 
mayor  being  unable  to  attend,  it  was  voted  that  he  be  re- 
quested to  appoint  a  committee  to  meet  General  Wool  and 
confer  with  him  upon  the  subject.  Alderman  William  Graves 
and  Norman  C.  Greenough  were  selected  as  the  committee. 


NEWBUKYPOKT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1863.  115 

They  conferred  with  General  Wool  at  the  time  and  place 
named;  and  after  the  examination  of  a  chart  of  the  coast  and 
the  Merrimack  River,  and  having  ascertained  all  the  facts  re- 
lating to  our  harbor,  the  General  expressed  the  opinion  that 
a  fortification  should  be  built  without  delay. 

March  ISth  (Friday).  The  body  of  Daniel  P.  Howard, 
late  of  Company  B,  19th  Massachusetts  Infantry,  killed  at 
Fredericksburg,  Dec.  13th,  1862,  was  buried  from  the  Prospect 
Street  Church,  Rev.  O.  S.  Butler,  pastor,  officiating.  The  ser- 
vices were  attended  by  His  Honor  Mayor  Jackman  and  a  large 
number  of  soldiers. 

April  6th  (Monday).  At  the  regular  meeting  of  the  city 
council,  Alderman  John  J.  Currier  presented  the  following 
resolutions,  which  were  unanimously  passed: 

Whereas,  Company  B  of  the  40th  (Mozart)  Regiment  of  New  York 
State  Volunteers  is  mainly  composed  of  citizens  of  Newburyport,  who 
enlisted  at  the  commencement  of  the  present  Civil  War,  neither  expecting 
nor  receiving  pecmiiary  reward,  and  since  that  date  have  endured  all  the 
hardships  and  privations  of  a  soldier's  life;  and  whereas,  in  consequence  of 
their  identification  -with  the  New  York  State  Volunteers,  their  services  have 
failed  to  receive  from  this  Commonwealth  that  acknowledgment  and 
commendation  which  would  seem  to  be  justly  due  them;   therefore,  be  it 

Resolved,  That  for  soldierly  and  exemplary  conduct  in  camp,  and 
brave  and  heroic  conduct  on  the  field,  the  thanks  of  the  city  be  tendered 
to  the  commissioned  officers  and  privates  of  Company  B  of  said  regi- 
ment, with  the  assurance  on  our  part  that  wliile  Williamsburg  and  Fair 
Oaks  and  Malvern  Hill  and  Fredericksburg  are  remem.bered,  their  deeds 
of  valor  on  those  blood-stained  fields  will  never  be  forgotten. 

Resolved,  That  while  we  mourn  the  loss  of  those  of  said  company 
who  have  fallen  in  the  shock  of  battle,  or  have  yielded  to  disease  con- 
tracted in  camp,  we  are  proud  to  know  that  while  living  they  were  stout 
of  heart  and  valiant  in  spirit,  at  all  times  nobly  sustaining  the  honor 
and  credit  of  the  city  of  their  birth  and  adoption. 

Resolved,  That  the  city  clerk  be  directed  to  forward  a  copy  of  these 
resolutions  to  Capt.  Henry  H.  Foster  of  Company  B,  New  York  State 
Volunteers  (Mozart  Regiment),  to  be  communicated  through  him  to  the 
members  of  said  company  now  in  camp  on  the  banks  of  the  Rappahannock. 

These  resolutions  having  been  forwarded  to  Captain  Foster 
and  communicated  to  the  company,  the  following  response 
was  received  by  the  mayor: 


116  NEWBUEYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAK,  18G3. 

Headquarters  40th  Regiment  New  York  Volunteers, 
Near  Potomac  Creek,  Va.,  May  10th,  1863. 
To  the  Honorable  the  Mayor  and  Aldermen  and  Common  Council 

OF  Newburyport,  Mass.: 

Gentlemen,  —  I  have  been  favored  by  Captain  Foster  of  Company  B 
of  this  regiment  with  a  copy  of  the  resolutions  of  your  honorable  body, 
with  reference  to  him  and  his  command,  and  I  beg  you  will  allow  me  to 
give  those  resolutions  my  full  approval. 

As  commandant  of  the  regiment  I  have  been  cognizant  of  their 
conduct,  and  may  freely  say  that  they  have  contributed  largely  to  the 
glory  which  the  regiment  has  earned  in  many  a  hard-fought  battle,  — 
a  glory  which  I  am  proud  to  say  is  conceded  by  all  military  men,  and 
which  has  been  bought  by  the  sacrifice  of  much  blood,  in  which  your 
city  has  offered  a  free  tribute. 

Company  B  has  ever  been  ready  at  the  right  time,  in  the  right  place, 
and  Captain  Foster  has  ever  been  with  them  to  show  them  the  way. 
Much  as  I  rejoice  that  the  company  is  in  my  regiment,  I  have  often  won- 
dered that  Massachusetts  should  allow  so  fine  a  body  of  men  to  leave 
the  State  for  service  at  a  time  when  every  loyal  State  needs  all  of  her 
best  and  bravest  sons  in  her  own  ranks. 

Captain  Foster,  I  consider,  stands  in  the  front  rank  of  military  men, 
and  as  a  brave  and  fearless  officer  has  few  equals  and  no  superiors.  And 
I  may  safely  add  the  same  of  Lieutenants  Stover  and  Welch,  whose  loss 
to  the  regiment  I  very  much  deplore. 

With  many  thanks  for  the  generous  though  just  and  deserved  senti- 
ments embodied  in  these  resolutions,  I  remain,  gentlemen,  your  obedient 
servant, 

T.  W.  Egan,  Colonel  401]/  New  York  Volunteers, 

Commanding  First  Brigade. 

Camp  40th  New  York  Volunteers, 
Near  Potomac  Creek,  \"a.,  May  9th,  1863. 
To  THE  Honorable  the  ]\Iayor  and  Aldermen  and  Common  Council 

of  Newburyport,  Mass.: 

Gentlemen,  —  The  preamble  and  resolutions  which  your  honorable 
body  were  pleased  to  pass  April  6th,  1863,  with  reference  to  myself  and 
my  command,  I  have  the  pleasure  of  communicating  in  person  to  the 
few  who  now  remain  of  the  company.  I  assure  you,  gentlemen,  that 
I  am  truly  grateful  for  your  kindness  in  thus  indorsing  not  only  my  mili- 
tary conduct,  but  the  conduct  of  the  brave  men  whom  it  is  my  fortune 
to  command. 

The  peculiarly  tr3'ing  circumstances  under  which  we  entered  the 
service,  together  with  the  efficient  and  indomitable  energy  of  Captain 
Westcott,  did  much  to  prepare  them  for  the  trying  scenes  through  which 
they  have  passed,  and  in  which  so  many  have  suffered,  but  above  and 
before  all.  Nature  made  them  brave.     They  enlisted  without  a  bounty, 


NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVTL   WAR,  1863.  117 

and  they  have  fought  without  flinching.  There  are  a  few  who  with 
neither  moral  courage  nor  pride  of  character  have  basely  deserted  rather 
than  stand  before  the  shock  of  battle.  Cowards  and  poltroons!  Their 
names  have  been  obliterated  from  the  roll  of  honor,  which  is  in  so  many 
places  crimson  with  the  blood  of  those  who  have  fallen  under  the  flag 
we  have  sworn  to  defend. 

To  Captain  Westcott  we  owe  much  for  the  energy  which  overcame 
the  many  obstacles  thrown  in  our  path,  and  gained  for  us  a  position  in 
one  of  the  best  regiments  in  the  service ;  and  to  liim  personally  I  am  under 
lasting  obligations,  not  only  for  the  kind  courtesy  with  which  he  ever 
treated  me  while  an  officer  under  him,  but  for  the  many  acts  of  kindness 
manifested  towards  myself  and  the  men  since  his  retirement  from  the 
service. 

In  Lieutenants  Stover  and  Welch  I  have  had  able  support,  and  the 
noble  example  of  unflinching  courage  to  stimulate  the  men  in  the  hour 
of  peril;  and  in  the  men  I  have  had  a  devotion  and  heroism  worthy  of 
the  highest  praise. 

If  in  the  various  and  oftentimes  perplexing  duties  I  have  been  called 
upon  to  perform,  I  have  succeeded  in  gaining  your  approval,  I  am  truh' 
proud,  but  can  only  claim  to  have  tried  earnestly  to  do  my  duty. 

In  behalf  of  myself  and  the  men,  I  again  thank  you  for  your  kind- 
ness, and  remain,  gentlemen,  your  obedient  servant, 

Henry  H.  Foster, 
-  Captain  Company  B,  40th  New  York  Volunteers. 

The  Newburyport  Herald  records  the  death  of  Charles 
Walter  Huse,  aged  twenty-one  years,  son  of  Mr.  Charles  L. 
Huse  of  this  city,  who  died  at  the  residence  of  his  father, 
Monday  morning,  April  6th,  and  says  of  him: 

He  belonged  to  our  National  Guards,  Company  B,  40th  New  York 
(Mozart)  Regiment,  from  which  he  was  discharged  as  incurably  sick 
January  7th,  after  serving  nineteen  months.  He  was  in  several  hard  bat- 
tles and  a  number  of  skirmishes,  his  regiment  being  in  the  tliickest  of 
the  fight  in  the  Peninsular  campaign.  He  held  a  good  reputation  as  a 
soldier,  never  shrinking  and  never  fearing.  But  the  labors  and  exposure 
were  too  much  for  him ;  and  after  escaping  the  bullets  of  the  foe  so  many 
months,  he  at  last  succumbed  to  disease  and  returned  home  to  die. 

April  ISth  (Saturday).  The  funeral  of  Edward  W.  Page, 
private  of  Company  A,  23d  Massachusetts  Infantry,  occurred 
this  afternoon  at  the  residence  of  his  father,  Mr.  Wilham  E. 
Page,  No.  2  Winter  Street.  He  enlisted  in  August,  1861,  and 
followed  his  regiment  to  North  Carohna,  where  he  was  sick  in 


118  NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1863. 

the  hospital  for  several  months,  but  unable  to  get  his  discharge 
until  the  7th  inst.,  when  he  was  too  far  gone  to  recover.  He 
reached  home  Wednesday  the  15th,  and  died  Friday  the  17th 
inst. 

April  2Qth.  The  Legislature  passed  an  Act  to  provide 
for  the  reimbursement  to  the  cities  and  towns  of  the  Com- 
monwealth the  bounties  which  had  been  paid  by  them  to 
volunteers  who  had  enlisted  and  been  mustered  into  the  ser- 
vice of  the  United  States  under  the  calls  of  the  President 
made  in  July  and  August,  1862,  not  exceeding  $100  for  each 
volunteer.  The  governor  of  the  Commonwealth  issued  an 
executive  order,  May  13th,  1863,  requiring  all  cities  and  towns 
to  make  returns,  giving  the  names  of  all  such  volunteers  to 
whom  they  had  paid  bounties,  the  amount  paid  to  each,  and 
the  regiments  to  which  they  were  assigned. 

The  following  is  the  return  made  by  the  mayor  and  alder- 
men June  30th,  1863: 

A  LIST   OF  THOSE  TO  WHOM  A  BOUNTY  OF  $200  WAS  PAID,   W^HO

From  the  assessors'  books  the  tax  for  1863  was  assessed 
upon  a  value  in  real  estate  of  $3,048,700,  personal  property 
$3,395,000,  total  $6,443,700,  —  a  dedine  on  the  real  estate 
from  1862  of  $114,750,  while  the  personal  property  is  ad- 
vanced $339,000,  which  makes  a  total  gain  of  $224,250.  This 
gain  does  not,  however,  reach  the  valuation  of  1861  by  $154,400. 
The  amount  of  money  required  by  the  city  for  the  current  year 
was  derived  from  tax  on  real  estate,  $42,647.40;  tax  on  per- 
sonal property,  $47,570;  tax  on  polls,  $4,696.00,  —  making  a

$18,768;  county  tax,  $7,818.29;  city  appropriation,  $65,000; 
overplus,  $3,337.11.  The  polls  for  this  year  were  2,348,  which 
is  114  less  than  1862,  and  82  less  than  1861.

shall  satisfy  the  mayor  that  all  recruits  obtained  at  said  office  shall  be 
credited  to  this  city  as  a  part  of  any  quota  it  may  be  called  upon  to  fur- 
nish, and  the  bounty  of  six  dollars  per  man  for  all  accepted  men  be  paid 
into  the  city  treasury.

The  mayor  by  the  following  letter  again  called  the  atten- 
tion of  the  State  government  to  the  necessity  of  protecting 
the  city  and  harbor  by  the  erection  of  fortifications  at  the 
mouth  of  the  river. 

CiTT  OP  Newburtport, 
June  29th,  1863. 
To  His  Excellency  the  Governor: 

Dear  Sir,  —  In  behalf  of  the  city  government,  and  in  view  of  the 
transaction  which  has  just  transpired  at  Portland,  I  take  the  liberty  to 
call  the  attention  of  your  excellency  to  the  totally  defenceless  condition 
of  the  harbor  and  city  of  Newbur3'port,  and  to  earnestly  ask  that  at 
least  some  immediate  temporary  protection  may  be  afforded  us. 

The  United  States  Government  have  made  surveys  of  our  harbor 
and  decided  upon  a  location,  where  a  permanent  fortification  will  doubt- 
less be  erected ;  but  as  the  engineers  informed  us  that  at  least  two  years 
would  be  required  to  complete  such  works  as  were  contemplated,  they 
thought  a  temporary  defence  should  at  once  be  commenced,  and  sug- 
gested that  earthworks  might  at  a  small  outlay  be  thrown  up  on  Plum 
Island,  which  would  effectually  command  the  entrance  to  our  harbor, 
and  that  they  should  urge  its  importance  upon  the  Department  at  once. 
Still  nothing  has  been  done,  and  we  are  now  at  the  mercy  of  an}'  ma- 
rauder who  by  an  armed  vessel,  or  even  by  armed  boats,  could  lay  us 


NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1863.  127 

under  contribution  or  destroy  our  shipping  and  a  large  number  of  valu- 
able vessels  now  building  on  the  banks  of  the  Merrimack;  for  with  the 
exception  of  two  small  and  comparatively  useless  field-pieces,  and  these 
without  ammimition,  the  entire  population  are  without  any  means  of 
defence  against  even  an  armed  boat's  crew.  Under  the  provision  of 
Chapter  118  of  the  Acts  of  the  Legislature  of  1863,  it  is  believed  that 
this  point  is  one  which  imperatively  demands  the  immediate  attention  of 
the  State  authorities  for  the  protection  not  only  of  this  citj',  but  of  the 
numerous  towTis  and  manufacturing  villages  on  the  Merrimack  River. 
'With  the  highest  regards, 

I  am  truly  your  obedient  servant, 

I.  H.  BoARDMAN,  Mayor. 

The  governor  replied  as  follows :  — 

Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts. 
Executive  Department, 
Boston,  June  30th,  186S 
To  Hon.  Isaac  H.  Boardman, 
Mayor  of  Nexvburyport. 

Sir,  —  Your  letter  concerning  the  defenceless  condition  of  your  har- 
bor has  been  copied  and  forwarded  to  the  Head  of  the  Corps  of  the  United 
States  Engineers  at  Washington,  with  appropriate  remarks  in  aid  of  its 
views. 

In  the  absence  of  permanent  fortifications,  earthworks  if  necessary 
have  always  been  contemplated  at  various  points  on  the  coast.  These 
precise  points  the  United  States  Engineers  wish  to  designate,  and  wish 
also  to  superintend  their  erection  whenever  it  is  done.  It  is,  moreover, 
desired  that  none  should  be  erected  unless,  nor  until,  the  guns  are  at 
hand  to  moimt  in  them.  We  here  at  the  State  House  are,  and  have 
been,  doing  our  utmost  to  procure  the  guns.  We  have  some  ordnance 
belonging  to  the  State,  now  at  New  Bedford,  which  might  be  transferred 
to  Newburyport,  their  place  being  supplied  there  by  new  ordnance  in 
their  new  forts. 

The  United  States  engineer  for  this  post  is  Major  Blmit.  He  who 
made  a  recent  survey  on  the  north  and  south  shores  is  Lieutenant  Alex- 
ander. His  report  was  promised  me.  I  hope  for  a  copy  by  an  early 
mail.  Not  being  an  expert  in  that  science,  I  am  not  able  myself  to  give 
ad-s'ice  touching  the  erection  of  earthworks  for  defensive  purposes,  and 
cannot  venture  to  give  original  opinion;  but  I  wiU  impart  to  you  all  in- 
formation I  possess  from  the  proper  quarters,  and  I  will  gladly  render 
any  official  aid  or  promote  any  official  action  which  may  be  found  de- 
sirable for  the  benefit  of  your  harbor.  Any  suggestions  will  be  immedi- 
ately and  respectfully  considered,  and  such  action  as  may  be  found  desirable 

and  possible  promptly  taken. 

I  am,  Mr.  Mayor, 
Respectfully  your  obedient  servant, 

John  A.  Andrew,  Governor. 


128  NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1863. 

The  raising  of  troops  by  draft,  in  accordance  with  the 
law  of  Congress,  was  commenced  in  this  Commonwealth  in 
the  months  of  June  and  July.  Major  Clark,  U.  S.  A.,  was 
made  provost-marshal-general  for  the  State,  and  assistant 
provost-marshals  for  the  several  Congressional  Districts  were 
appointed  at  Washington  to  conduct  the  draft. 

Capt.  Daniel  H.  Johnson,  Jr.,  of  Salem  was  appointed 
provost-marshal  for  the  Fifth  District,  including  twenty-six 
cities  and  towns  of  Essex  County,  Newburyport  being  one  of 
the  number.  A  Board  was  also  estabhshed  to  make  an  en- 
rollment of  all  persons  in  the  Commonwealth  between  the 
ages  of  twenty  and  forty-five  years. 

July  4ith  (Saturday).  Anniversary  of  our  national  inde- 
pendence. By  order  of  the  mayor  the  several  bells  in  the 
city  were  rung  one  hour  at  sunrise,  noon,  and  at  sunset. 

July  5th  (Sunday).  At  noon  to-day  an  extra  of  the  New- 
buryport Herald  was  issued,  announcing  the  glorious  victory 
at  Gettysburg,  with  a  congratulatory  address  of  President 
Lincoln  to  the  people  of  the  country  on  the  success  of  the 
Army  of  the  Potomac  and  the  cause  of  the  Union. 

July  7th  (Tuesday).  Hardly  had  the  people  ceased  rejoic- 
ing over  the  victory  of  our  army  in  Pennsylvania  before  the 
telegraph  announced  the  again  glorious  news  of  the  uncon- 
ditional surrender  of  Vicksburg  to  General  Grant.  No  sooner 
was  it  announced  by  the  operator  than  the  city  was  wild  with 
excitement  and  delight.  Business  was  suspended,  the  schools 
dismissed,  and  men,  women,  and  children  rejoiced  together. 


"The  Veteran  Artillery  and  City  Cadets  paraded  the 
streets  with  music.  All  the  bells  of  the  city  were  rung  for  six 
hours,  artillerys  alutes  fired,  firecrackers  and  fire-arms  exploded, 
while  cheer  upon  cheer  rent  the  air  until  the  heavens  reverber- 
ated the  notes  of  gladness  and  thanksgiving  for  the  patriotism, 
bravery,  and  success  of  our  gallant  armies  in  the  field." 

July  8th  (Wednesday).  A  meeting  was  held  at  the  Pros- 
pect Street  Church  this  morning  at  eight  o'clock,  continuing 
one  hour,  "For  praise  and  thanksgiving  to  God  our  Saviour, 
for  the  recent  signal  successes  which  have  been  graciously 


NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1863.  129 

vouchsafed  to  our  arms  at  the  East  and  the  West."  Rev. 
Randolph  Campbell  conducted  the  services,  followed  by  Dr. 
Leonard  Withington,  and  Revs.  James  N.  Sykes,  John  R. 
Thurston,  and  Elias  C.  Hooker. 

July  10th  (Friday).  The  draft  for  Congressional  District 
No.  5  commenced  at  Lyceum  Hall,  Salem,  to-day.  The  draft 
is  from  the  first  class  of  the  national  forces,  which  embraces 
all  married  men  between  the  ages  of  20  and  35  years,  and  all 
unmarried,  including  widowers,  between  20  and  45  years,  to 
the  number  of  1,851  men. 

The  number  of  men  required  from  Newburyport  is  158, 
divided  as  follows:  from  Ward  One,  32;  Ward  Two,  26;  Ward 
Three,  23;  Ward  Four,  28;  Ward  Five,  23;  Ward  Six,  26.  To

had  gathered  to  bid  them  welcome.  The  streets  through  which  the  pro- 
cession passed  were  profusely  decorated,  and  the  national  emblem  waved 
from  almost  every  house-top.  At  the  residence  of  Col.  Frederick  J. 
Coffin  on  Green  Street,  the  commander  of  the  8th  Massachusetts  In- 
fantry, that  had  but  just  returned  from  nine  months'  service  in  North 
Carolina,  Maryland,  and  Virginia,  were  displayed:  — 

The  national  flag  presented  to  the  8th  Regiment  by  the  Sons  of 
Massachusetts  resident  in  New  York  when  on  their  way  to  defend  the 
capital  in  1861. 

The  national  flag  given  by  the  State  in  the  fall  of  1862  to  the  8th 
Regiment  when  they  volunteered. 

The  national  flag  presented  bj'  the  Union  Ladies  of  Baltimore  to 
the  8th  Regiment  when  they  occupied  that  city  in  1861. 

The  regimental  flag  of  the  8th  Regiment,  carried  in  its  first  cam- 
paigns of  1861. 

The  regimental  flag  of  the  8th  Regiment,  carried  in  their  campaigns 
in  North  Carolina,  Maryland,  and  Virginia. 

At  the  City  Hall  M'ere  some  three  hundred  invited  guests,  including 
military  men,  sons  of  Newburyport  from  abroad,  and  ladies  who  had 
made  ample  preparations  for  the  occasion.  Tables  were  placed  the 
length  of  the  Hall,  and  abundantly  supplied  with  all  procurable  luxuries. 

The  company  was  called  to  order  by  Capt.  John  Burrill  of  the  Vet- 
eran Artillery  Association,  who  acted  as  chairman.  Capt.  WiUiam  E. 
Currier  spoke  as  follows :  — 


140  NE\YBUIlYPORT   EST    THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1863. 

^^Col.  Eben  F.  Stone  and  Staff,  and  Captain  Woodvard,  svbalterns  and 
Tnembers  of  Company  A,  4Sth  Regiment  Massachusetts  Volunteers: 
"The  citizens  of  Newburyport,  your  friends,  and  the  friends  of  the 
soldiers,  have  come  here  to  meet  you,  and  have  given  me  the  honor  to 
say  in  their  behalf  we  welcome  you  to  our  city,  your  home,  —  the  home 
where  affection  dwells  and  where  the  heart  can  bloom;  we  have  come  to 
meet  you  and  to  behold  each  well-remembered  face,  and  to  count  you 
with  the  living,  —  for  you  have  come  from  the  field  of  battle  and  from 
the  field  of  carnage;  you  have  come  with  victories  on  your  ensign  and 
with  laurels  on  3'our  brow,  —  laurels  won  in  the  maintenance  of  our 
national  government,  —  a  government  without  a  parallel  in  the  age  of 
the  world. 

"We  are  assembled  here  to-day  to  do  you,  'Returned  Soldiers,' 
homage.  We  are  assembled  here  to-day  to  cherish  the  remembrance  of 
the  heroic  dead,  those  patriots  belonging  to  this  command,  who  in  the 
deadly  conflict  on  the  battlefield  poured  out  their  liquid  life  to  brighten 
their  country's  altar,  and  had  their  sacred  bodies  committed  to  the  clod 
of  the  valley  by  the  margin  of  the  Father  of  Waters,  hallowing  it.  May 
they  be  in  sacred  remembrance  while  the  valley  bears  a  plant  or  river 
waters  nm!" 

Rev.  Randolph  Campbell  was  next  introduced,  who  asked  divine 
blessing,  after  which  a  brief  season  was  enjoyed  discussing  the  luxuries 
of  the  tables. 

Captain  Burrill  introduced  Philip  K.  Hills,  Esq.,  as  toastmaster, 
who  introduced  as  the  first  regular  toast,  — 

"The  48th  Regiment." 

Colonel  Stone  in  responding  gave  a  brief  history  of  the  doings  of  the 
48th  from  the  time  it  went  into  active  service  up  to  the  day  it  left  for  the 
North.  He  spoke  of  the  thrilling  events  of  May  21st,  27th,  and  June  14th, 
and  then  of  the  fight  at  Donaldson ville,  July  13th,  and  the  consequences 
that  followed,  so  deeply  to  be  lamented,  which  had  made  homes  desolate 
and  fiUed  hearts  with  sadness.  These  were  dates  which  the  48th  would 
never  forget,  and  which  they  inscribed  on  their  banner,  perforated  and 
torn,  and  still  the  more  to  be  valued  and  cherished,  on  account  of  the 
terrible  scenes  through  which  it  had  been  carried,  and  that  now  it  was 
again  in  the  city  where  it  was  received  in  its  original  beauty.  He  spoke 
of  the  severe  marches  from  time  to  time  beneath  a  burning  stm,  with 
short  rations,  and  with  no  beds  but  the  earth.  And  yet  the  regiment 
was  more  than  repaid  when  it  saw  the  evidences  that  its  services  were 
appreciated,  and  that  it  had  not  gone  forth  without  sympathy  and  the 
confidence  of  the  community.  He  next  paid  a  merited  tribute  to  the 
memory  of  the  noble  men  who  had  fallen  in  their  attempts  to  defend 
their  country.  There  were  Peabody,  Lunt,  and  Poor,  young,  brave,  and 
patriotic ;  Perkins  and  Houston,  determined  and  gallant,  —  loved  by  their 
associates  and  lamented  in  their  fall,  with  a  poignancy  of  grief  which 


NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1863.  141 

language  had  no  power  to  express.  He  referred  also  to  Lieut-Col.  James 
O'Brien,  and  cherished  him  as  being  as  generous,  valiant,  and  whole- 
souled  an  Irishman  as  ever  lived;  and  this  he  regarded  as  high  a  compli- 
ment as  he  was  capable  of  paying  him. 

Colonel  Stone  offered  as  a  sentiment,  "The  memory  of  the  fallen  of 
the  48th  Regiment,"  and  suggested  that  it  be  drank  standing  and  in 
silence. 

2d.  "Company  A,  48th  Regiment  —  our  sons,  our  younger  sons:  by 
their  valor  and  endurance  they  have  reflected  great  credit  on  their  fathers 
and  the  city  of  their  birth." 

Captain  Woodward  in  responding  spoke  of  the  feeling  which  had 
been  manifested  all  the  way  in  their  journey  home.  They  had  been  re- 
ceived with  kindness  in  the  several  cities  and  towns  through  which  they 
passed,  the  people  seeming  unable  to  do  enough.  This  was  a  cause  of 
gratitude,  and  he  trusted  he  and  Company  A  were  impressed  with  the 
obUgations  under  which  it  laid  them.  The  demonstration  before  him 
was  more  —  they  were  among  their  friends,  those  whom  they  loved, 
whose  interests  were  theirs,  and  they  could  never  forget  the  day  and  its 
happy  incidents.     He  closed  with  the  sentiment,  "Home." 

3d.    "The  President  of  the  United  States." 

Responded  to  by  Enoch  G.  Currier,  Esq.,  collector  of  the  Port,  who 
alluded  to  the  arduous  duties  of  President  Lincoln  and  what  he  had 
already  accomplished  —  the  emancipation  proclamation  and  its  effects  in 
freeing  the  country  from  slavery. 

4th.    "The  Army  and  Nav>\" 

Chaplain  Samuel  J.  Spalding  responded.  He  claimed  to  have  seen 
personally  few  of  the  perils  of  the  field.  He  had  done  what  he  could 
among  the  sick  and  the  wounded.  His  main  theme  was  the  endurance 
of  the  men  under  the  trying  circumstances  in  which  he  had  met  them. 
He  had  heard  no  word  of  complaint  —  no  doubts  or  fears  expressed  of 
the  ultimate  result.  All  were  hopeful  and  determined,  ready  to  do  to  the 
last  and  with  cheerfulness  all  their  country  could  demand  at  their  hands. 

5th.  "  The  City  of  Newburyport  —  loyal  and  patriotic  to  its  heart's 
core:  the  evidences  of  it  are  all  around  us." 

Mayor  Isaac  H.  Boardman  responded,  not  as  mayor,  he  remarked, 
but  as  a  private  citizen,  for  the  city,  as  such,  was  not  known  in  the  re- 
ception, though  its  government  entered  heartily  into  the  spirit  of  the 
occasion,  and  would  gladly,  in  their  corporate  capacity,  welcome  home 
every  citizen  who  had  gone  forth  to  fight  for  his  country.  He  spoke  of 
what  Newbur5rport  had  done,  and  from  the  record  of  the  past  what  we 
might  expect  at  her  hands  tlirough  her  sons.  They  would  never  be 
found  wanting;  and  too  much  could  not  be  done  as  expressive  of  our 
gratitude  and  sympathy  for  our  self-exiled  soldiery. 

6th.  "The  Ladies.  Their  constant  care  and  attention  to  the  sol- 
dier entitles  them  to  the  highest  praise  of  being  called  the  worthy  daugh- 
ters of  the  mothers  of  the  Revolution." 


142  NEWBURYPORT    IN    THE    CIVIL    WAR,  1863. 

Responded  to  by  Deacon  William  Thurston.  He  referred  to  the 
noble  work  the  ladies  had  done,  and  looked  forward  to  what  they  would 
yet  accomplish.  Without  their  aid  the  war  could  not  be  successfully 
stopped:  with  their  efforts  the  end  would  soon  appear. 

7th.  "The  Returned  Soldiers,  our  Guests.  We  are  honored  by 
their  presence  among  us,  —  the  best  tj'pe  of  true  manhood,  maimed  and 
disabled  in  their  country's  cause." 

Lieut.  John  W.  Ricker  of  the  48th,  who  lost  a  leg  at  Port  Hudson, 
was  called  upon  to  respond.  He  alluded  to  the  victories  that  had  at- 
tended our  armies  in  the  field. 

8th.  "The  Sons  of  Newburyport  from  abroad.  We  welcome  you  to 
the  paternal  roof  on  one  of  Newburyport's  most  glorious  days." 

Responded  to  by  Colonel  Clement  of  Wisconsin,  who  spoke  in  very 
complimentary  terms  in  reference  to  the  daughters  of  Newburyport.  He 
did  not  believe  there  was  a  city  in  the  country,  of  forty  thousand  in- 
habitants, that  could  boast  of  so  many  beautiful,  accomplished,  and 
patriotic  ladies.  He  gave  as  a  sentiment,  "The  Sons  of  Newburyport: 
they  will  never  dishonor  the  place  of  their  birth." 

9th.  "The  Press.  Its  power  is  incalculable  by  any  arithmetic  yet 
applied  to  mortal  problems." 

George  J.  L.  Colby,  Esq.,  editor  of  the  Newburyport  Herald,  re- 
sponded, saying  that  he  had  taken  a  deep  interest  in  the  48th  from  its 
organization,  from  the  fact  that  he  was  personally  acquainted  with  a 
large  portion  of  its  members  belonging  to  this  city  and  the  adjoining 
towns.  Of  Company  A,  eight  or  ten  members  had  been  connected  as 
apprentices  or  newspaper  carriers  with  the  Herald  office;  and  two  mem- 
bers were  still  nearer  to  him,  belonging  to  his  own  family. 

10th.  "The  Clergy.  Nobly  have  they  emulated  the  example  of 
their  predecessors  of  the  Revolutionary  era." 

Rev.  Randolph  Campbell  responded.  He  had  never  introduced 
politics  into  the  pulpit.  He  had  aimed  to  preach  the  gospel.  The 
assault  upon  Sumter  had  led  him  to  inquire  into  the  motive  and  purpose 
of  the  South,  and  it  was  apparent,  and  from  their  own  avowal,  that 
they  would  the  more  firmly  establish  and  perpetuate  slavery.  Acting  in 
view  of  this  admission,  he  had  never  doubted  that  the  cause  of  the  loyal 
States  was  the  cause  of  God,  and  he  had  felt  called  upon  to  advocate  it 
as  such,  whenever  a  favorable  opportunity  presented  itself.  He  believed 
it  to  be  the  duty  of  the  pulpit  to  speak  out :  —  the  Master  demanded  it 
of  his  servants,  and  they  who  would  be  found  faithful  must  obev  the 
teachings  of  Providence,  as  well  as  of  the  writcen  Word. 

Other  gentlemen  followed.     Mr.  Charles  H.  Coffin  submitted  the  fol- 
lowing toast,  which  was  most  enthusiastically  received:  — 
"Colonel  Coffin,  his  Staff,  and  the  8th  Regiment." 

Capt.  John  Burrill  of  the  Veteran  Artillery  Association  presented 
the  following:  — 

"The  Mothers  of  76,  and  the  Daughters  of  '63,  —  worthy  daughters." 


NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1863.  143 

At  the  close  of  the  exercises  at  City  Hall,  the  company  with  their 
guests  formed  on  Brown's  Square  and  marched  to  the  mall,  where,  after 
a  dress-parade,  they  were  dismissed. 


September  Sd.  The  reception  tendered  by  Company  A  of 
the  8th  Regiment,  the  Gushing  Guards,  to  Gompany  A  of  the 
48th  Regiment,  on  their  return  from  Wenham  after  having 
been  mustered  out  of  service,  occurred  this  afternoon.  Gom- 
pany A  of  the  48th  was  received  at  the  Eastern  Depot,  and 
after  parading  through  many  of  the  principal  streets  were 
conducted  to  the  Gity  Hall,  where  a  very  fine  collation  had 
been  prepared.  Gapt.  Stephen  D.  Gardiner  of  the  Gushing 
Guards,  in  the  name  of  that  company,  welcomed  the  men  of 
the  48th,  and  Gaptain  Woodward  responded.  The  occasion 
was  one  of  great  good  feeling. 

September  SOth  (Wednesday).  The  anniversary  of  the  or- 
ganization of  the  Gity  Gadets  was  celebrated  at  the  Merrimack 
House  in  the  evening.  It  consisted  of  a  supper,  a  presenta- 
tion, toasts,  and  speeches.  The  company  is  now  organized  as 
a  part  of  the  State  militia,  and  designated  as  the  3d  Unat- 
tached Gompany  of  Infantry,  M.  V.  M. 

October  30th  (Friday).  The  President  of  the  United  States, 
under  date  of  October  17th,  issued  a  call  for  300,000  men  to 
serve  for  three  years,  or  during  the  war,  to  take  the  place  of 
those  who  were  to  go  out  of  service  the  following  year;  until 
Jan.  5th,  1864,  was  given  to  raise  the  number  by  volunteers. 
The  quota  assigned  to  Massachusetts  was  15,126  men.  By 
the  governor's  General  Order  No.  30,  dated  Boston,  October 
29th,  the  quota  for  Newburyport  was  one  hundred  and  seven- 
teen (117),  divided  as  follows:  Ward  1,  twenty-four  (24);  Ward 
2,  nineteen  (19);  Ward  3,  seventeen  (17);  Ward  4,  twenty-one 
(21);  Ward  5,  seventeen  (17);  Ward  6,  nineteen  (19). 

November  2d  (Monday).  At  a  meeting  of  the  city  council, 
Alderman  John  J.  Gurrier  introduced  the  following,  which  was 
adopted: — 

Whereas,  The  city  council  of  the  city  of  Newburyport  have  been 
informed  that  a  movement  is  on  foot  in  the  different  cities  and  towns 
in  the  State  to  induce  the  governor  of  this  Commonwealth  to  call  an 


144  NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1863. 

extra  session  of  the  Legislature  for  the  purpose  of  repealing  the  law 
prohibiting  the  cities  and  towns  to  offer  bounties  to  soldiers  enlisting  in 
the  service  of  the  United  States,  and,  vjhereas,  they  believe  that  the 
system  heretofore  obtaining  of  one  city  or  town  bidding  upon  another  is 
prejudicial  to  the  best  interests  of  the  people  and  tends  to  diminish  en- 
listments, therefore  be  it 

Resolved,  By  the  city  council,  that  in  their  opinion  it  is  not  ad\'isable 
to  repeal  said  law,  but  they  would  respectfully  petition  the  governor  of 
the  Commonwealth  to  call  an  extra  session  of  the  Legislature  for  the 
purpose  of  increasing  the  bounties  to  be  paid  from  the  State  Treasury 
to  those  who  may  hereafter  enlist  in  the  service  of  the  United  States. 

Resolved,  That  the  city  clerk  be  directed  to  forward  a  copy  of  these 
resolutions  to  the  governor  of  the  Commonwealth. 

November  I2th  (Thursday).  In  response  to  the  call  of  the 
President  for  additional  troops,  and  to  facilitate  the  filling  of 
the  quota  of  the  city,  the  following  appeal  for  a  public  meet- 
ing at  Market  Hall  was  published  in  the  Herald:  — 

To  THE  Citizens  of  Newburyport: 

Earnestly  desiring  that  the  patriotism  of  the  people  may  be  publicly 
manifested,  our  quota  speedily  filled,  the  old  enthusiasm  be  again  revived, 
and  every  member  of  the  community  become  interested  in  the  work,  we 
invite  the  citizens  of  Newburyport  to  meet  us  at  Market  Hall,  this  (Thurs- 
day) evening,  November  12th,  at  7.30  o'clock  p.m.,  to  make  arrangements 
for  holding  a  series  of  war  meetings,  to  subscribe  a  fund  for  this  purpose, 
and  to  transact  any  other  business  connected  with  the  subject,  which 
may  come  before  us. 

Let  Newburyport  sustain  her  former  reputation:  let  her  be  first 
among  the  cities  of  the  Commonwealth  to  respond  to  this  latest  call  of 
our  country.  {Signed)

five,  consisting  of  Albert  Currier,  Eben  F.  Stone,  Philip  K. 
Hills,  Robert  Bayley,  and  Henry  Cook,  was  appointed  to 
carry  out  the  object  of  the  meeting.  The  committee  reported

Col,  Eben  F.  Stone  submitted  the  following  resolutions, 
which  were  adopted:  — 

Resolved,  That  in  order  to  stimulate  recruiting  most  effectively,  it  is 
in  our  opinion  very  important  that  a  liberal  smn  should  be  offered  as  a 
bounty  to  volunteers,  payable  in  full  immediately  on  enlistment,  and  not 
in  installment  from  time  to  time,  in  the  nature  of  increased  wages. 

Resolved,  That  a  copy  of  these  resolves  be  communicated  unmedi- 
ately  to  our  Representatives  in  the  Legislature. 

Henry  M.  Cross,  Esq.,  presented  the  following,  which  was 
also  adopted :  — 

Resolved,  That  every  member  of  this  meeting  will  use  their  utmost 
endeavors  and  influence  to  see  that  the  quota  of  Newburyport  be  filled 
to  the  maximum  within  ten  days  after  the  action  of  the  present  session 
of  the  Legislature  shall  become  known. 

The  meeting  was  addressed  by  Col.  Eben  F.  Stone,  Capt. 
Henry  W.  Moulton,  and  Henry  M.  Cross. 

November  16th  (Wednesday).  The  first  war  meeting  ar- 
ranged by  the  committee  selected  at  the  meeting  at  Market 
Hall  on  the  12th  inst.  was  held  at  City  Hall  this  evening.  It 
was  large  and  enthusiastic.  Speeches  were  made  by  Rev. 
Willard  Spaulding  of  Salem,  Rev.  Samuel  J.  Spalding,  late 
chaplain  of  the  48th  Regiment,  and  Rev.  John  R.  Thiu-ston  of 
this  city. 

November  17th  (Thursday).  The  second  war  meeting  took 
place  at  City  Hall  this  evening,  and  notwithstanding  the  very 
severe  rain,  the  hall  was  filled  to  its  utmost  capacity.     Colonel 


146  NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1863. 

Gould  of  the  59th  Massachusetts,  and  Lieutenant  Cailef  of  the 
9th  Massachusetts,  spoke  eloquently  in  support  of  the  gov- 
ernment, urging  the  people  to  renewed  patriotism  and  devo- 
tion in  responding  to  the  call  of  the  President  and  support  of 
our  armies  in  the  field. 

November  19th  (Thursday).  The  funeral  of  John  H.  Ryan, 
formerly  of  Company  B,  19th  Massachusetts  Infantry,  who 
died  at  his  home  in  this  city  on  the  16th  inst.,  occurred  at 
the  Purchase  Street  Church. 


By  an  Act  of  the  Legislature  passed  Nov.  18th,  1863,  the 
State  offered  a  bounty  of  $325  to  all  volunteers  who  enlisted 
and  were  mustered  into  the  service  of  the  United  States  for 
three  years;  to  those  volunteers  who  preferred,  instead  of  the 
$325  in  hand,  $50  was  offered  at  the  time  of  enlistment,  with 
an  additional  pay  of  $20  per  month.  In  case  the  volunteer 
chose  to  receive  the  increased  monthly  pay  instead  of  the 
larger  bounty,  he  was  to  receive  the  same  pay  of  $20  per 
month  for  six  months  after  his  honorable  discharge  for  dis- 
ability after  six  months'  service. 

In  case  of  death  while  in  the  service,  his  widow  or  heirs 
were  to  receive  the  same  additional  six  months'  pay  after  his 
death,  with,  however,  the  limitation  that  it  should  not  con- 
tinue more  than  three  years  in  the  whole.  By  accepting  the 
bounty  of  $325,  the  recruit  made  sure  of  that  sum  and  waived 
all  chances  of  more.  By  accepting  the  $50  and  monthly  pay 
of  $20,  he  would  receive  $330  from  the  State  at  the  end  of 
fourteen  months,  or  $5  more  than  the  bounty  of  $325.  At 
the  expiration  of  his  three  years'  service  he  would  receive 
$770.  This  bounty,  in  addition  to  the  United  States  bounty 
of  $402  to  "veterans"  and  $302  to  new  recruits,  made  the 
pay  of  those  who  served  in  Massachusetts  regiments  greater 
than  was  ever  before  given  to  soldiers. 

Governor  Andrew,  in  his  proclamation  to  the  people  of 
Massachusetts,  dated  Nov.  18th,  1863,  says:  — 

I  know  that  the  people  of  Massachusetts  do  not  fight  for  money  nor 
vulgar  glory.     They  fight  for  their  country,  to  subdue  the  enemies  of 


KEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1863.  147 

her  rights  and  their  own  liberties,  under  the  better  impulses  of  duty, 
patriotism,  and  manly  honor.  But  the  purpose  of  the  State  is  to  pro- 
vide for  the  comfort  and  protection  of  the  soldier's  household,  so  that 
the  highest  duties  of  patriotism  may  be  found  consistent  with  those  of 
domestic  affection. 

For  the  regulation  of  recruiting  in  the  State,  General  Order 
No.  32  was  issued  November  20th,  appointing  the  mayors  of 
cities  and  selectmen  of  towns  recruiting  officers.  In  accord- 
ance with  this  order,  Mayor  Boardman,  to  facilitate  recruit- 
ing, issued  the  following:  — 

City  of  Newburyport, 
Mayor's  Office,  Nov.  20th,  1863. 

Having  been  appointed,  by  authority  of  the  provost-marshal-general, 
as  recruiting  agent  for  the  city,  notice  is  hereby  given,  that  Lieut.  John 
W.  Ricker,  at  No.  11  State  Street,  Lieut.  Samuel  W.  Haynes,  at  No.  33 
Market  Square,  and  D.  Clark  Batchelder,  at  city  marshal's  office,  are 
duly  authorized  to  recruit  for  all  branches  of  the  service,  and  at  either 
of  these  offices  the  generous  bounties  allowed  by  the  General  and  State 
Governments  can  be  secured. 

Young  men  of  Newburyport,  rally  once  more  for  the  defence  of  your 
country,  and  by  a  prompt  and  enthusiastic  response  to  the  call  to  arms, 
maintain  the  high  position  this  community  has  ever  held  in  its  devotion 
to  the  Union.     Never  despair,  nor  doubt  the  final  result :  — 
"For  freedom's  battle,  once  begun, 
Bequeathed  from  bleeding  sire  to  son, 
Though  baffled  oft,  is  always  won." 

Isaac  H.  Boardman,  Mayor. 

December  7th  (Monday).  At  the  meeting  of  the  city 
council,  an  order  was  adopted  — 

authorizing  and  requiring  the  mayor  to  employ  an  agent  at  the  city's 
expense,  and  upon  the  be.st  terms  which  can  be  made,  to  visit  such  of 
the  headquarters  of  the  Massachusetts  regiments  as  may  not  be  too  re- 
mote, having  soldiers  serving  therein  enlisted  from  this  city,  to  ascertain 
the  names  of  such  as  have  re-enlisted,  or  may  by  said  agent  be  induced 
to  re-enlist,  in  the  service  of  their  country,  provided  the  mayor  can  pre- 
viously obtain  from  the  proper  quarters  assurances  that  the  names  of 
such  re-enlisted  soldiers  will  be  counted  in  the  present  quota  assigned  to 
Newburyport  on  the  last  call  of  the  President  for  troops;  and  be  it  further 
ordered,  that  the  sum  required  for  such  service  of  agent  be  taken  from 
the  appropriation  of  incidentals. 


148  NEWBUEYPOKT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1863. 

In  compliance  with  the  above  order,  the  mayor  addressed 
the  following  letter  to  the  governor,  stating  the  action  of  the 
city  government,  and  asking  authority  to  act  in  accordance 
therewith :  — 

City  of  Newburyport, 
Mayor's  Office,  Dec.  8th,  1863. 
To  His  Excellency,  John  A.  Andrew,  Governor. 

My  dear  Sir,  —  At  a  meeting  of  our  city  councU  last  evening,  I  was 
authorized  to  send  an  agent  to  such  of  the  headquarters  of  the  Massa- 
chusetts regiments  (not  too  remote)  in  which  troops  from  this  city  are 
serving,  to  induce  the  enlistment  of  as  large  a  number  of  them  as  may 
be  practicable,  provided  I  can  previously  obtain  from  the  proper  author- 
ities the  assurance  that  such  re-enlisted  soldiers  will  be  counted  in  the 
present  quota  assigned  to  Newburyport,  under  the  last  call  of  the  Presi- 
dent for  troops.  On  account  of  the  indisposition  of  Adjutant-General 
Schouler,  I  have  taken  the  libertj^  to  address  you  upon  the  subject,  and 
respectfully  to  ask  that  the  information  desired  may  be  forwarded  at  an 
early  day. 

In  reference  to  enlistments,  I  have  the  honor  to  report  that  we  are 
using  our  utmost  exertions,  and  that,  too,  in  strict  compliance  with  the 
spirit  of  the  law  and  your  oft  expressed  wishes  on  the  subject  of  bounties, 
to  fill  our  quota,  and  we  have  already  secured  about  one-half  of  the 
required  number. 

No  exertions  on  my  part,  or  on  that  of  the  city  government,  will 
be  spared  to  complete  our  quota.  The  greatest  obstacle  now  in  the 
way  of  enlistments  is  an  impression  prevailing  among  some  of  our  re- 
turned volunteers,  that  the  State  bounty  will  not  be  punctually  paid; 
and  with  my  most  strenuous  attempts  to  convince  them  to  the  contrary, 
they  still  cling  to  the  doubt.  —  "Show  us  the  first  man  who  has  received 
the  cash  in  hand,  and  we  are  ready."  —  Pardon  me  for  annoying  you 
with  so  long  a  letter.     My  only  excuse  is,  the  good  cause  demands  it. 

In  the  firm  and  unwavering  faith  of  a  regenerated  and  more  glori- 
ous Union,  I  am  with  respect  and  esteem. 

Your  obedient  servant, 

Isaac  H.  Boardman,  Mayor. 

The  governor  under  the  same  date  answered  as  follows:  — 

Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts, 
Executive  Department,  Boston,  Dec.  8th,  1863. 
His  Honor  Isaac  H.  Boardman, 
Mayor  of  Newburyport. 
Sir,  —  I  have  the  honor  to  acknowledge  the  receipt  of  your  letter 
of  this  day,  and  in  reply  to  state  that  no  recruit  has  any  color  of  reason 
to  distrust  the  good  faith  of  Massachusetts.     Many  thousands  of  dollars 
have  been  paid  from  the  treasury  under  the  law  of  last  spring,  giving  a 


NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1863.  149 

State  bounty  of  fifty  dollars,  and  the  money  now  lies  ready,  to  pay  the 
recruits  at  General  Deven's  Camp,  who  go  to  the  old  regiments  in  the 
field  as  fast  as  they  are  mustered  in  and  the  papers  can  be  prepared. 

The  State  Paymaster  is  under  orders  to  visit  the  camp  at  Long 
Island  every  day  for  this  purpose,  and  either  to  pay  or  assist  in  preparing 
the  papers,  as  the  case  may  be. 

Recruits  sent  to  the  camps  at  Readville  and  Worcester  for  new 
organizations  will  be  paid  as  soon  as  companies  are  ready  for  muster. 
The  United  States  Provost-Marshal-General,  Col.  J.  B.  Fry,  has  apprised 
me  tliat  soldiers  now  in  the  field,  who  re-enlist  as  veterans,  will  be  duly 
credited  to  the  quotas  where  they  properly  belong  under  the  call  of  the 
President  of  October  17th.  His  declaration  upon  this  point  is  explicit. 
There  is,  of  course,  no  objection  to  the  sending  of  an  agent  to  stir  up 
and  promote  re-enlistments  in  the  regiments  in  the  field,  which  should 
be  encouraged  in  every  possible  way. 

I  have  the  honor  to  be, 

Very  respectfully,  Mr.  Maj^or, 

Your  obedient  servant, 

John  A.  Andrew, 
Go  vernor  of  Massachusetts. 

From  the  information  communicated  by  the  governor,  that 
the  provost-marshal-general  had  determined  that  all  soldiers 
then  in  the  field  who  should  re-enlist  would  be  credited  to  the 
quotas  where  they  properly  belonged,  it  was  deemed  inex- 
pedient to  further  comply  with  the  order  of  the  city  council 
of  December  7th. 

That  the  quota  of  the  city  might  be  filled  as  speedily  as 
possible,  and  to  prevent  imposition  upon  those  who  might 
enlist,  the  mayor  issued  the  following:  — 

City  of  Newburtport, 
Mayor's  Office,  Dec.  21st,  1863. 
To  prevent  illegal  recruiting,  notice  is  hereby  given,  that  Lieuts. 
John  W.  Kicker,  Samuel  W.  Haynes,  John  L.  Perley,  and  D.  C.  Batch- 
elder,  are  the  only  authorized  recruiting  officers  for  this  city,  and 
information  is  earnestly  requested  to  be  given  at  this  office  of  any  en- 
listments made  by  other  parties  here;  and  it  is  also  important  that  any 
resident  of  Newburyport  who  has  enlisted  or  may  enlist  in  any  other 
city  or  town,  should  be  at  once  reported. 

As  earnest  efforts  are  being  made  to  induce  the  re-enlistment  of  our 
soldiers  now  in  the  field,  all  information  on  this  point,  with  the  names 
of  all  such  who  have  re-enlisted  or  may  hereafter  re-enlist,  which  may 
come  to  the  knowledge  of  our  citizens,  is  respectfully  solicited. 

Isaac  H.  Boardman,  Mayor. 


150  NEWBURYPORT   IN    THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1863. 

COMPANY    B,    40th    REGIMENT    NEW    YORK     INFANTRY    (mOZART 
regiment),    credited    to    MASSACHUSETTS. 

The  following  order  from  the  War  Department  to  His 
Excellency  Governor  Andrew  is  self-explanatory :  — 

War  Department, 

Adjutant-General's  Office, 

Washington,  Aug.  10th,  1863. 
His  Excellency 

The  Governor  of  Massachusetts: 

The  following   companies  of  volunteers  mustered  into  New  York 

regiments  are  credited  by  enrollment  to  the  State  of  Massachusetts; 

viz.,  Company  B,  40th  New  York  Volunteers.     Strength,  101  men. 

Thomas  M.  Vincent, 

Assistant  Adjutant-General. 

It  is  evident  from  the  above  order  that  the  credit  of  the 
men  from  Newburyport  attached  to  the  "Mozart"  Regiment, 
so  called,  was  transferred  from  the  State  of  New  York  to  the 
State  of  Massachusetts,  but  I  have  failed  to  find  that  New- 
buryport received,  as  she  should  have  done,  credit  for  the 
men  which  belonged  to  her  by  the  issuing  of  the  order.  That 
the  order  of  August  10th  was  not  rescinded  is  apparent  from 
the  following  letter :  — 

War  Department, 
Adjutant-General's  Office, 
Washington,  Sept.  5th,  1879. 

On  Aug.  20th,  1863,  an  exhibit  rendered  by  the  Adjutant-General, 
U.  S.  A.,  to  the  Provost-Marshal-General,  U.  S.  A.,  which  included  the  fol- 
lowing: — 

"The  following  companies  of  volunteers  mustered  into  New  York 
regiments  are  credited  by  enrollment  to  the  State  of  Massachusetts: 
Company  B,  40th  New  York  Volunteers.     Strength,  101. 

The  above  were  mustered  in  during  June,  1861.  These  credits  were 
passed  to  the  State  of  Massachusetts,  and  applied  upon  the  quota  of 
three  years'  troops  called  for  from  that  State  in  1861."

The  mayor  in  his  inaugural  referred  to  the  state  of  the 
country  and  the  patriotism  of  the  city  as  follows :  — 

The  rebellion  which  has  now  been  upon  us  for  nearly  three  years 
still  continues.  Would  to  God  that  I  were  able  to  predict  its  close! 
The  necessity  still  exists  for  the  faithful  to  be  faithful  still;  and  by  a 
continuance  of  that  strong  and  never-faltering  step,  I  think  it  possible 
that  we  may,  ere  the  year  closes,  be  able  to  say  that  the  rebellion  is  ended. 

Our  sons,  many  of  them,  have  laid  down  their  lives  in  defence  of 
that  emblem  of  our  nationality,  tlie  Stars  and  Stripes.  I  will  here  repeat 
what  I  have  said  on  a  former  occasion,  —  that  Newburyport  was  the 
first  city  of  the  State  to  vote  to  hoist  the  Union  flag,  and  to  keep  it  to 
the  mast-head  till  the  rebellion  is  ended;  and  I  am  proud  to  know  that 
that  beautiful  flag  is  unfurled  to  the  breeze  over  our  heads  this  day. 

Newburyport  was  the  first  city  to  advance  money  from  her  treasury 
to  send  soldiers  to  the  defence  of  the  capital.  From  that  day  to  this, 
she  has  voted  with  an  open  hand  and  a  brave  and  a  generous  spirit;  and 
so  I  trust  she  will  continue  to  do,  until  every  State  is  in  subjection  to  the 
Constitution.  Let  us,  if  we  are  generous  too  of  our  acts,  be  so  to  our 
soldiers  who  have  gone  out  to  fight  the  enemy  in  this  trying  crisis  of 
our  beloved  country.  Let  us  see  to  the  families  and  parents  that  many 
of  them  have  left  behind.  Let  us  see  that  they  are  properly  provided 
with  the  necessities  of  life.  Do  not  let  it  be  said  that  the  wives  and 
children  and  parents,  or  any  of  them,  suffered  by  neglect  of  the  city 
government  of  this,  as  loyal  a  city  as  there  is  in  the  United  States.  For 
my  own  part,  if  I  err  at  all,  I  am  determined  that  it  shall  be  in  favor 
of  those  of  our  citizens  who  are  in  the  arniy  fighting  for  us,  and  for  the 
preservation  of  our  LTnion,  and  for  the  dear  ones  they  have  left  at  home 
under  our  protection  and  care. 


NEWBUEYPORT   IN    THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1864.  153 

By  an  order  of  the  city  council,  the  mayor  and  aldermen, 
with  Councilmen  Moses  Pettingell,  Jr.,  of  Ward  1,  Thomas  C. 
Goodwin  of  Ward  2,  John  R.  Stanwood  of  Ward  3,  Charles 
M.  Hodge  of  Ward  4,  Thomas  H.  Cutter  of  Ward  5,  and  John 
Currier,  3d,  of  Ward  6,  constituted  the  Relief  Committee  for 
the  year. 

The  quota  of  Newburyport  for  one  hundred  and  seventeen 
(117)  men,  under  the  call  of  the  President  of  Oct.  17th,  1863, 
for  300,000  troops,  was  full  on  the  5th  inst.  The  mayor 
having  informed  the  State  authorities  of  the  fact,  Adjutant- 
General  Schouler,  in  a  letter  dated  January  11th,  says,  — 

I  have  the  honor  to  acknowledge  the  receipt  of  your  favor  of  the  9th 
inst.,  and  congratulate  you  upon  the  success  of  your  efforts  in  filling  the 
quota  of  Newburyport.  In  answer  to  your  inquiry  I  would  say,  that 
if  you  enlist  more  than  your  quota,  the  surplus  should  be,  and  I  have  no 
doubt  would  be,  placed  to  your  credit  in  any  future  call  which  may  be 
made  upon  the  Commonwealth  for  more  men. 

Enlisting  still  continued,  but  it  was  not  prosecuted  with 
vigor,  as  it  was  doubtful  whether  the  city  would  be  credited 
with  the  men  so  furnished,  and  as  under  the  last  call  no  cred- 
its were  obtained  for  the  men  previously  recruited,  though 
the  city  sent  some  twelve  men  to  camp  only  the  week  before. 
The  mayor  on  the  19th  inst.  addressed  the  following  letter  to 
the  governor,  asking  official  information  concerning  future 
enlistments :  — 

City  of  Newbttryport, 
Mayor's  Office,  Jan.  19th,  1864. 
To  His  Excellency,  John  A.  Andrew: 

Sir,  —  I  am  directed  by  the  city  council  to  ascertain  from  you  whether 
bounties  will  still  continue  to  be  paid  to  men  enlisting  in  the  United  States 
service  from  Newburyport  now  that  our  quota  is  full,  and  whether  any 
surplus  of  men  that  we  may  raise  over  the  last  quota  ordered  from  this 
city  will  be  accredited  to  us  in  case  another  call  should  be  made  by  the 
President  upon  this  Commonwealth  for  troops.  If  your  answer  should 
be  in  the  affirmative,  I  should  be  pleased  to  have  power  granted  me  to 
continue  to  recruit  men. 

Yours  very  truly, 

Geo.  W.  Jackman,  Jr.,  Mayor. 


154  NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1864. 

The  governor,  January  21st,  transmitted  a  copy  of  General 
Order  No.  4,  dated  Boston,  January  19th.  Paragraphs  I.  and 
II.  read  as  follows:  — 


"  I.  By  General  Order  of  the  War  Department,  Series  of  1864,  a 
bounty  of  $400  will  be  paid  to  veterans  who  enlist  or  re-enlist  under 
existing  orders,  and  a  bounty  of  $300  will  be  paid  to  raw  recruits  who 
enlist  for  any  three  years'  organization,  authorized  by  the  War  Depart- 
ment, either  in  service  or  in  process  of  completion,  until  the  first  day 
of  March,  1864. 

"  II.  Under  the  present  arrangement  of  the  War  Department,  towns 
and  wards  which  have  filled  their  quota  under  the  present  call  may  go 
on  and  continue  their  enlistments,  and  their  surplus  men,  so  raised, 
will  be  credited  to  them  under  any  future  caU." 

The  governor  advises  all  to  take  advantage  of  the  present  enthu- 
siasm for  enlistment,  and  make  it  available. 

The  State  bounty  will  continue  to  be  paid  until  "the  public  pro- 
mulgation of  orders  to  the  contrary." 


This  order  finally  determined  the  question  of  surplus  en- 
listments, and  secured  to  the  city  the  credit  of  a  large  number 
of  re-enlisted  men  in  excess  of  the  last  requisition. 

January  18th  (Monday).  An  order  of  the  city  council 
directed  ''that  the  mayor  present  to  the  governor,  John  A. 
Andrew,  a  petition  from  this  Board,  asking  the  privilege  of 
raising  a  company  in  this  city  and  vicinity  as  a  garrison  to 
the  new  fort  at  the  mouth  of  the  river,  and  that  his  excellency 
authorize  Lieuts.  John  W.  Ricker  and  William  J.  Creasey  to 
recruit  said  company."  In  accordance  with  this  order,  the 
mayor  wrote  as  follows :  — 

City  of  Newburyport, 
Mayor's  Office,  Jan.  19th,  1864. 
To  His  Excellency,  John  A.  Andrew, 
Governor  of  Massachusetts  : 

Sir,  —  I  am  directed  by  an  order  from  the  board  of  mayor  and 
aldermen  to  petition  your  excellency  to  ask  that  j^ou  will  if  possible 
obtain  permission  from  the  War  Department  of  the  United  States  to 
have  Lieuts.  John  W.  Ricker  and  William  J.  Creasey  appointed  recruit- 
ing officers  to  raise  a  company  of  heavy  artillery  to  garrison  the  fort 
now  being  built  at  the  entrance  of  our  harbor,  said  company  to  be  raised 
in  Newburyport  and  vicinity.     I  have  no  doubt  but  that  a  very  efficient 


NEWBURYPOET   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1864.  155 

company  can  be  raised  by  the  officers  above  named  for  the  purpose  herein 
stated  if  your  excellency  will  get  permission  for  them  to  do  so. 
Very  truly  yours, 

Geo.  W.  Jackman,  Jr.,  Mayor. 

To  which  the  governor  replied,  — 

Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts, 
Executive  Department,  Boston,  Jan.  21st,  1864. 
To  His  Honor  Geo.  W.  Jackman,  Jr., 
Mayor  of  Newburyport  : 

Sir,  —  We  having  already  twelve  companies  of  heavy  artillery  on 
duty  in  Massachusetts,  the  War  Department  refuses  permission  for  any 
more  to  be  organized  here,  except  upon  the  condition  that  they  shall  be 
paid  no  bounty  whatever  by  the  United  States,  and  shall  not  count  upon 
the  quota  of  the  Commonwealth. 

Under  these  conditions  the  governor  does  not  deem  it  expedient  to 
undertake  to  raise  any  such  additional  companies,  and  therefore,  when- 
ever the  fort  at  Newburyport  shall  be  in  condition  to  receive  a  garrison, 
he  will  endeavor  to  arrange  that  it  shall  be  garrisoned  by  some  of  the 
heavy  artillery  troops  already  in  service. 

I  have  the  honor  to  remain,  sir, 
Your  obedient  servant. 

By  order  of  His  Excellency  the  Governor, 

A.  G.  Browne,  Jr.,  Lieut.-Col.  Mil.  Sec. 

On  the  evening  of  Monday  the  18th  inst.,  those  members 
of  Company  H  of  the  32d  Massachusetts  Infantry  residing  in 
this  city  and  vicinity  who  had  re-enhsted  and  were  enjoying 
their  veteran  furlough,  together  with  those  of  the  company 
who  had  been  discharged,  participated  in  a  very  happy  re- 
union at  the  residence  of  Capt.  Henry  W.  Moulton,  their 
former  company  commander.  During  the  evening  frequent 
allusions  to  those  who  had  fallen  suggested  the  following 
resolutions,  which  were  adopted :  — 

Resolved,  That  while  we  hold  this  reunion  joyously,  and  are  grateful 
to  God  for  bringing  us  in  happiness  together,  after  the  perils  of  battle, 
suffering,  exposure,  and  hardship;  and  while  we  anew  consecrate  our 
lives  to  the  glorious  cause  of  Freedom  and  Union,  we  cannot  forget  our 
dear  comrades  who  have  fallen  in  defence  of  the  starry  flag,  and  the 
nation  it  represents.  Fragrant  is  the  memory  of  these  brave  and  noble 
souls,  who  with  us  "went  marching  on"  in  the  defence  of  liberty,  but 


156  KEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1864. 

with  us  could  not  return.  Sacred  is  each  name,  and  hallowed  in  our 
recollection  are  their  many  soldierly  virtues.  As  we  write  these  mar- 
t>Ted  names,  fain  would  we  honor  their  memory;  but  the  record  of  their 
death  in  the  cause  of  Freedom  is  their  best  epitaph:  — 

Lieut.  Joseph  W.  Wheelwright,  died  from  exposure,  Antietam  cam- 
paign. 

William  Niles,  Georgetown,  died  from  exposure,  Antietam  campaign. 

Corp.  Rufus  W.  Chandler,  Newburyport,  died  from  exposure,  An- 
tietam campaign. 

Benjamin  W.  Pingree,  Georgetown,  died  from  expo.sure,  Antietam 
campaign. 

Phipps  Sylvanus,  Framingham,  died  from  exposure  at  Antietam  and 
Fredericksburg. 

Thomas  P.  Lunt,  Newburyport,  killed  at  Chancellors\'ille,  Va. 

Sergt.  Francis  E.  Winter,  Georgetown,  killed  at  Fredericksburg. 

William  D.  Hudson,  Framingham,  killed  at  Gettysburg,  Pa. 

Daniel  Mahoney,  Boston,  died  from  exposure  and  hardship  in  the 
Antietam  campaign. 

Resolved,  That  in  the  death  of  these  patriot  soldiers  we  sustained 
an  irreparable  loss;  that  while  we  mourn  for  ourselves,  we  would  give 
to  the  relatives  of  the  deceased  our  heartfelt  sympathies,  and  ask  them 
to  take  comfort  in  the  truth,  "  He  dies  not  in  vain  who  dies  for  his  countrj'." 

The  re-enlistment  of  a  large  number  of  soldiers  in  the 
field  after  the  expiration  of  two  years'  service,  and  their  re- 
turn home  on  veteran's  furlough,  prompted  the  mayor  to 
issue  the  following  request,  that  the  city  might  have  knowl- 
edge and  receive  credit  for  all  men  so  re-enlisting :  — 

City  of  Newburyport, 
Mayor's  Office,  Jan.  22d,  1864. 
All  soldiers  of  the  Army  of  the  United  States,  belonging  to  this  city, 
who  have  re-enlisted  in  said  service,  are  particularly  requested  to  leave 
their  names,  and  the  number  of  the  regiment  and  company  to  which 
they  belong,  with  the  city  treasurer  at  City  Hall,  in  order  that  the  city 
may  know  the  number  of  men  she  has  now  enlisted  over  and  above  the 
last  quota  ordered  from  this  city. 

Geo.  W.  Jackman,  Jr.,  Mayor. 

Previous  to  the  call  of  Oct.  17th,  1863,  for  three  hundred 
thousand  three  years'  men,  orders  had  been  received  from 
Washington  that  recruiting  in  the  several  States  should  be 
done  through  the  district  provost-marshals  and  such  local 
agents  as  they  might  appoint.     These  agents  were  to  receive 


KEWBURYPORT    IN    THE    CIVIL    WAR,  1864.  157 

twenty-five  dollars  for  each  veteran  recruit,  and  fifteen  dollars 
for  each  new  recruit.  The  governor,  by  representations  to  the 
War  Department,  succeeded  in  so  modifying  this  order  as  to 
have  the  quota  of  Massachusetts  raised  by  the  mayors  of 
cities  and  selectmen  of  towns,  and  the  twenty-five  dollars  and 
fifteen  dollars  allowed  for  recruits  was  to  be  used  by  them 
towards  defraying  the  expenses  of  recruiting. 

By  this  change  in  the  method  of  recruiting,  Newburyport 
received  from  the  United  States  and  paid  to  its  local  recruiting 
officers  from  Oct.  17th,  1863,  to  July  19th,  1864,  eleven  hun- 
dred and  fifty  (1,150)  dollars  for  eighty  enlisted  men,  sixteen 
of  whom  were  at  ten  dollars,  sixty-one  at  fifteen  dollars,  and 
three  at  twenty-five  dollars.  This  bounty  for  recruiting,  of 
twenty-five  dollars  for  veterans  and  fifteen  dollars  for  new 
recruits,  was  changed  to  fifteen  and  ten  dollars  on  the  1st  of 
February,  1864,  and  ceased  entirely  on  the  19th  of  July, 
1864. 

Under  date  of  February  1st  the  President  issued  an  order 
calling  for  an  additional  number  of  men,  to  serve  for  three 
years  or  during  the  war,  which  reads  as  follows:  — 

Executive  Mansion, 
Washington,  Feb.  1st,  1864. 
Ordered,  That  a  draft  of  500,000  men,  to  serve  for  three  years  or 
during  the  war,  be  made  on  the  tenth  day  of  March  next,  for  the  mili- 
tary service  of  the  United  States,  crediting  and  deducting  therefrom  as 
many  as  may  have  been  enUsted  or  drafted  into  the  service  prior  to  the 
first  day  of  March  and  not  heretofore  credited. 

(Signed)         Abraham  Lincoln. 

The  governor,  by  General  Order  No.  8,  dated  Boston,  Feb. 
11th,  1864,  stated  the  number  of  men  to  be  furnished  by  the 
several  cities  and  towns  in  the  Commonwealth  under  the 
above  call  of  the  President  for  five  hundred  thousand  (500,000) 
men,  to  be  two  hundred  thousand,  in  addition  to  those  called 
for  Oct.  17th,  1863,  and  would  be  two-thirds  as  many  as  was 
assigned  to  them  under  that  call. 

The  quota  of  Massachusetts  under  this  additional  call  of 
two    hundred    thousand    (200,000)    men   was,    ten    thousand 


158  NEWBUBYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1864, 

eighty- four  (10,084).  Of  these  seventy-eight  (78)  were  to  be 
furnished  by  Newburyport.  This  number  was  materially  re- 
duced by  the  balance  standing  in  our  favor.  February  15th, 
at  a  meeting  of  the  city  council,  Mayor  Jackman  submitted 
the  following  recommendations  regarding  the  filling  of  the 
city's  quota:  — 

City  of  Newburyport,  Feb.  15th,  1864. 
Gentlemen  of  the  City  Government: 

The  time  is  dra^ving  to  a  close  in  which  the  cities  and  towns  in  this 
Commonwealth  are  allowed  to  raise  their  quota  of  men,  under  the  last 
call  of  the  President  of  the  United  States  for  500,000  troops  before  the 
draft  is  ordered. 

The  quota  of  this  city  under  this  call  is  195  men.  There  were  en- 
listed by  Mayor  Boardman,  of  this  number,  105  men  that  have  been 
accepted,  so  far  as  known;  there  have  been  enlisted  under  my  direction,  14 
men;  returned  as  re-enlisted  in  the  17th  Regiment,  21  names;  left  at  the 
city  treasurer's  office  as  re-enlisted,  7,  making  147,  —  lea\ang  48  more  to 
raise.  Besides  those  named  above,  some  of  our  men  have  re-enlisted 
from  other  regiments  now  in  the  field:  the  number  I  do  not  know,  but  I 
am  doing  all  that  I  can  to  ascertain  the  precise  number.  I  have  no  doubt 
but  that  there  are  some  25  to  30  of  them,  at  least,  which  would  reduce 
our  wants  to  some  25  men. 

I  think  that  some  inducements  should  be  offered  by  the  city,  whereby 
the  remaining  number  of  men  wanted  can  at  once  be  obtained.  I  would 
therefore  recommend  that  the  city  pay  to  any  person  or  persons  the 
surn  of  $25  for  each  veteran,  and  $15  for  each  raw  recruit,  that  may  be 
enlisted,  and  sworn  into  the  service  of  the  United  States,  and  accredited 
to  the  city  of  Newburyport  until  such  time  as  a  sufficient  number  of 
men  shall  be  obtained  to  fill  our  quota. 

I  think,  gentlemen,  that  our  citizens  will  appreciate  and  fully  indorse 
this  course.  For  my  own  part,  I  feel  that  we  should  offer  almost  any 
inducement  whereby  we  can  obtain  these  men,  rather  than  to  have  a 
draft  made  here;  and  I  think  that  by  such  an  offer  as  is  named  above, 
with  the  exertions  of  the  members  of  the  city  council  and  those  of  our 
citizens  who  feel  an  interest  in  the  welfare  of  our  city  and  the  preserva- 
tion of  the  Union,  that  the  filling  of  our  quota  can  be  accomplished  before 
the  draft  is  ordered  to  take  place.  I  would  therefore  recommend  the 
passage  of  the  accompanying  order. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

Geo.  W.  Jackman,  Jr.,  Mayor. 

The  order  submitted  and  adopted  was  as  follows :  — 

That  the  mayor  be  and  hereby  is  authorized  to  offer  a  gratuity  to 
any  person  or  persons  to  the  amount  of  twenty-five  (25)  dollars  each  for 


NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1864.  159 

veterans,  and  fifteen  (15)  dollars  each  for  raw  recruits,  in  addition  to 
the  sum  paid  for  recruiting  by  the  United  States,  for  such  number  of 
men  as  may  be  wanted  to  fill  the  quota  of  this  city,  under  the  last  call 
of  the  President  of  the  United  States. 

In  compliance  with  the  above  order,  the  mayor  pubhshed 
the  following  in  the  Newbury  port  Herald  of  the  19th  inst. :  — 

City  op  Newburyport, 
Mayor's  Office,  Feb.  18th,  1864. 
The  undersigned  will  pay  to  any  person  or  persons  the  sum  of  $25 
each  for  veteran  soldiers,  and  $15  each  for  raw  recruits,  in  addition  to 
the  sum  paid  by  the  United  States,  for  the  recruiting  of  a  sufficient  num- 
ber of  men  to  fill  the  quota  of  this  city,  —  some  twenty-five  or  thirty 
being  wanted  for  that  purpose;  said  amounts  being  payable  on  presen- 
tation of  a  certificate  from  the  adjutant-general  of  the  Commonwealth 
that  such  men  have  been  sworn  into  the  military  service  of  the  United 
States,  and  have  been  credited  to  the  city  of  Newburyport  as  a  part  of 
its  quota. 

Geo.  W.  Jackman,  Mayor. 

To  fill  the  quota,  the  mayor  with  the  committee  on  recruit- 
ing labored  earnestly;  and  long  before  the  time  assigned  for 
the  draft,   not  only  had  the  required  number  been  enlisted 
but  a  surplus  remained  to  our  credit. 


THE    DRAFT   OF   APRIL,    1864. 

The  following  is  an  order  by  the  President  of  the  United 
States  for  an  additional  draft  of  two  hundred  thousand 
(200,000)  men:  — 

Executive  Mansion, 
Washington,  March  14th,  1864. 

In  order  to  supply  the  force  required  to  be  drafted  for  the  navy,  and 
to  provide  an  adequate  reserve  force  for  all  contingencies,  in  addition 
to  the  500,000  men  called  for  Feb.  1st,  1864,  the  call  is  hereby  made  and 
draft  ordered  for  200,000  men  for  the  military  service  of  the  Army,  Navy, 
and  Marine  Corps  of  the  United  States.  The  proportional  quotas  for 
the  different  wards,  towns,  townships,  precincts,  or  election  districts,  or 
counties,  will  be  made  known  through  the  provost-marshal's  bureau,  and 
account  will  be  taken  of  the  credits  and  deficiencies  of  former  quotas. 

The  15th  day  of  April,  1864,  is  designated  as  the  time  up  to  which 
the  numbers  required  from  each  ward  of  a  city,  town,  etc.,  may  be  raised 


160  NEWBURYPOET   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAE,  18(34. 

by  voluntary  enlistment,  and  drafts  will  be  made  in  each  ward  of  a  city, 
town,  etc.,  which  shall  not  have  filled  the  quotas  assigned  to  it  within 
the  time  designated  for  the  number  required  to  fill  said  quota. 

The  draft  wiU  be  commenced  as  soon  after  the  15th  of  April  as  prac- 
ticable. The  government  bounties  as  now  paid  continue  until  April  1st, 
1864,  at  which  time  the  additional  bounties  cease.  On  and  after  that 
date  $100  bounty  only  will  be  paid,  as  provided  by  the  Act  approved 
July  22d,  1861. 

{Signed) 

Abraham  Lincoln. 


The  quota  of  Massachusetts  under  this  call  of  the  National 
Government  was  10,639  men.  There  was  a  deficiency  on  the 
part  of  the  State  up  to  March  1st,  1864,  amounting  to  9,953 
men,  making  the  total  number  to  be  furnished  20,592. 

The  number  required  from  the  5th  Provost-Marshal  Dis- 
trict was  907  men,  deficiencies  under  previous  calls  to  March 
1st,  1864,  525  men,  making  an  aggregate  of  1,432  to  be  fur- 
nished by  the  district. 

The  demand  upon  Newburyport  under  the  call  was  84 
men,  apportioned  as  follows:  Ward  One,  16;  Ward  Two,  13; 
Ward  Three,  13;  Ward  Four,  14;  Ward  Five,  12;  Ward  Six, 
16.  Under  this  call,  March  14th,  1864,  the  enlistments  in  the 
United  States  Navy  were  allowed.  Through  the  untiring 
energy  and  personal  appeal  of  Governor  Andrew,  on  the  4th 
of  July,  1864,  Congress  passed  an  Act  allowing  credits  to  be 
given  for  naval  enlistments  and  authorizing  recruiting  in  dis- 
loyal States.  The  substance  of  this  law  will  be  found  in  the 
following  letter  addressed  to  each  of  the  commissioners:  — 

War  Department,  Provost-Marshal-General's  Office, 
Washington,  D.C,  July  7th,  1864. 
His  Excellency,  John  A.  Andrew, 
Governor  of  Massachusetts: 

Sir,  —  Section  8,  of  the  Act  approved  July  4th,  1864,  further  to  reg- 
ulate and  provide  for  the  enrolling  and  calling  out  of  the  national  forces, 
and  for  other  purposes,  is  as  follows:  — 

"That  all  persons  in  the  naval  service  of  the  United  States,  who 
have  entered  said  service  during  the  present  rebellion,  who  have  not 
been  credited  to  the  quota  of  any  town,  district,  ward,  or  State,  by  reason 
of  their  being  in  said  service  and  not  enrolled  prior  to  Feb.  24th,  1864, 
shall  be  credited  to  the  quotas  of  the  town,  ward,  district,  or  State  in 


NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1864.  161 

which  they  respectively  reside,  upon  satisfactory  proof  of  their  residence 
made  to  the  secretary  of  war." 

The  secretary  of  war  hereby  appoints  your  excellency  and  Hon. 
John  H.  Clifford  a  commission  to  ascertain  what  credits  the  State  of 
Massachusetts,  and  the  different  subdivisions  of  the  State,  are  entitled 
to  under  the  law  given  above. 

In  determining  this  question,  the  secretary  thinks  it  will  be  fair  to 
presume  that  the  State  in  which  naval  enlistments  have  been  made,  is 
entitled  to  the  credit  for  those  enlistments,  unless  it  shall  appear  by 
more  direct  evidence  that  the  credits  belong  elsewhere.  The  points  of 
law  to  be  observed  in  applying  the  Act  quoted  will  readily  be  perceived 
by  the  commission. 

Major  F.  N.  Clark,  Acting  Assistant  Provost-Marshal-General  for 
Massachusetts,  will  represent  the  United  States. 

James  B.  Fry,  Provost-Marshal-General. 


Under  date  of  July  21st  a  circular  letter  was  sent  by  the 
governor  to  the  mayors  of  cities  and  selectmen  of  towns  re- 
quiring them  to  return  to  Major  William  Rogers,  Assistant 
Adjutant-General,  on  or  before  the  10th  day  of  August,  a 
sworn  list  of  all  persons  residing  within  their  municipaUties, 
who  had  enlisted  in  the  naval  service  of  the  United  States 
during  the  rebellion  previous  to  Feb.  24th,  1864,  and  who  had 
not  been  credited  to  any  town,  district,  or  ward  by  reason  of 
their  being  in  said  service. 

Municipal  officers  who  had  previously  made  complete  and 
correct  returns  of  such  persons  in  the  naval  service,  in  re- 
sponse to  a  circular  of  the  adjutant-general  of  the  31st  of 
March,  were  not  required  to  repeat  the  same,  but  an  oppor- 
tunity was  given  to  correct  such  returns  if  desired. 

As  the  bill  did  not  pass  until  July  4th,  and  a  draft  was  or- 
dered early  in  September,  it  was  of  the  utmost  importance 
that  the  naval  credits  due  the  State  should  be  immediately 
ascertained  and  correctly  apportioned.  In  order  to  do  this, 
it  was  necessary  to  copy  the  muster-rolls  on  board  the  re- 
ceiving-ship Ohio  at  the  Charlestown  Navy  Yard,  and  from 
them  it  was  found  that  the  total  number  of  men  who  had 
enHsted  from  the  13th  of  April,  1861,  to  the  24th  of  February, 
1864,  was  22,360. 


162  NEWBUEYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1864. 

The  returns  made  in  response  to  the  circular  of  March 
31st  and  July  21st  showed  that  the  whole  number  of  naval 
enlistments  claimed  by  the  cities  and  towns  was  16,181, 
being  6,179  less  than  the  number  copied  from  the  rolls  of  the 
receiving-ship. 

The  instructions  given  by  the  commissioners  to  their 
clerks  were:  — 


First,  To  credit  only  those  who  had  joined  the  service  subsequent 
to  the  rebellion. 

Second,  Only  those  who  had  joined  the  service  at  some  rendezvous 
in  the  State. 

Third,  When  a  man  was  claimed  by  two  or  more  cities  or  towns, 
neither  city  or  town  was  to  receive  the  credit,  but  the  credit  in  dispute 
was  to  be  given  to  the  State  at  large. 


As  the  enlistments  were  for  one,  two,  and  three  years,  the 
War  Department,  under  date  of  Aug.  22d,  1864,  directed  that 
in  the  system  of  credits  the  conmiissioners  be  governed  by 
the  same  rules  as  in  credits  for  enlistment  in  the  army.  By 
this  method  only  three  years'  men  counted  as  a  unit,  it  took 
three  one  year's  men  to  count  one,  and  three  two  years'  men 
to  count  two.  The  total  number  of  enlistments,  when  re- 
duced to  a  three  years'  term  of  service,  was  16,625.  The 
number  of  enlistments  claimed  by  the  cities  and  towns  reduced 
to  a  three  years'  term  of  service,  9,020,  leaving  7,605,  which 
were  distributed  'pro  rata  to  the  credit  of  the  cities  and  towns 
of  the  State.  This  method  of  allowing  credits  will  readily 
account  for  the  large  number  of  men  credited  to  our  city  in 
this  branch  of  the  service  who  were  neither  natives  nor  resi- 
dents of  Newburyport;  and  the  failure  of  the  city  to  claim  or 
successfully  establish  their  title  to  those  who  were  actually 
residents  at  the  time  of  enlistment,  is  the  cause  of  so  many  of 
our  own  citizens  being  credited  to  other  cities  and  towns  in

born  in  Amesbury,  Mass.,  Dec.  22d,  1837,  and  was  by  occupa- 
tion a  blacksmith.  At  the  time  of  his  enlistment  he  was 
residing  at  Vallejo,  Cal.,  and  when  an  opportunity  was  given 
for  those  who  emigrated  from  Massachusetts  to  enlist  and 
serve  for  their  native  State,  he  was  one  of  the  first  to  offer. 
He  enlisted  at  San  Francisco,  Cal.,  Dec.  10th,  1862,  as  one  of 
the  "California  Hundred,"  and  arrived  at  Camp  Meigs

dise, N.  S.,  but  had  resided  in  this  city  for  many  years  pre- 
vious to  the  war.  He  was  a  member  of  Gompany  A,  Gushing 
Guards,  8th  Regiment,  during  their  nine  months'  service  in 
North  Carolina,  and  was  one  of  those  who  accompanied  the 
regiment  to  Maryland  Heights  and  Harper's  Ferry.  He  re- 
turned home  with  the  company  at  the  expiration  of  its  service, 
suffering  from  change  of  climate,  and  finally  passed  away  in 
consumption. 

April  28th  (Thursday).  At  a  meeting  of  the  city  council. 
Alderman  Gurrier  offered  the  following  order,  which  was 
adopted: — 

That  the  mayor  be  and  hereby  is  authorized  to  employ  a  suitable 
person  at  a  fair  compensation  to  make  out  a  complete  list  of  those  per- 
sons who  have  enlisted  in  the  army  or  the  navy  from  this  city  since 
the  commencement  of  the  present  Civil  War,  said  list  to  state  the  date 
of  discharge  (if  discharged),  or,  in  case  of  decease,  the  date  of  death. 
It  shall  also  be  the  duty  of  the  person  so  employed  to  compare  said  list 
with  the  muster  rolls  of  the  different  regiments  at  the  State  House  in 
Boston,  in  order  to  ascertain  whether  the  men  so  enlisted  have  been 
properly  credited  to  the  quota  of  the  city  of  Newburyport. 

This  order  was  never  executed.  Had  it  been  acted  upon,  it 
would  have  provided  the  city  with  a  complete  and  correct  roll 
of  all  men  furnished  for  the  army  and  navy,  and  been  a  finan- 
cial saving  to  the  city  as  well  as  a  reliable  military  record  of 
those  who  certainly  deserved  to  be  remembered  in  the  future. 

May  2d  (Monday).  The  Gity  Gadets,  Gapt.  Luther  Dame, 
designated  in  the  State  Militia  as  the  3d  Unattached  Gom- 
pany, having  been  ordered  to  report  at  Readville  to-day,  left 
the  city  on  the  eight  o'clock  morning  train.  They  were  ac- 
companied by  the  Portsmouth  Gornet  Band,  and  escorted  by 
the  city  council  and  a  delegation  from  the  Veteran  Artillery 
Association.

May  16th  (Monday).  The  continued  fighting  of  our  arm- 
ies on  their  advance  to  Richmond,  and  the  large  number  of 
wounded  and  suffering  soldiers  who  were  being  daily  sent  to 
the  hospitals  from  the  battlefields,  prompted  our  patriotic 
fellow-citizen  Edward  S.  Moseley,  Esq.,  to  solicit  contributions 
for  their  relief.  In  less  than  a  week  he  collected  $2,008.50, 
and  in  accordance  with  the  wishes  of  the  donors,  $1,900  was 
forwarded  to  the  Christian  Commission,  and  the  remainder  to 
the  Sanitary  Commission. 

Mr.  Moseley,  in  acknowledging  the  sums  received,  said 
that  — 

The  ordinary  trouble  attending  the  collection  of  money,  even  for 
benevolent  purposes,  has  in  this  instance  been  entirely  superseded;  those 
who  have  subscribed  having  in  most  instances  called  for  the  purpose, 
and  all  having  esteemed  it  a  privilege  to  aid  in  relieving  the  sufferings 
of  men  who  have  periled  their  lives  for  the  integrity  of  the  Union.

June  \st.  In  anticipation  of  a  call  from  the  United  States 
Government  for  troops  to  fill  up  the  organizations  in  the 
field,  General  Order  No.  17,  dated  Boston,  May  31st,  1864,  was 
issued,  continuing  as  recruiting  officers  the  chairman  of  the 
selectmen  of  towns  and  the  mayors  and  aldermen  of  cities 
throughout  the  Commonwealth.  The  following  order  relating 
to  the  same  subject  was  received  from  the  District  Provost- 
Marshal  :  — 


Provost-Marshal's  Office,  Fifth  District  Massachusetts, 

Salem,  Jime  2d,  1864. 
To  Hon.  Geo.  W.  Jackman,  Jr., 

Mayor  of  Newbury  port : 

Sir,  —  I  would  most  respectfully  state  that  I  have  received  orders 
to  resume  enlistment,  and  muster  into  the  service  of  the  United  States 
such  volunteers  as  may  be  offered  at  this  office;  and  inclose  printed  Gen- 
eral Instructions,  etc. 

I  am  ordered  to  recognize  selectmen  of  towns  and  mayors  and  alder- 


168  NEWBURYPORT    IN    THE    CIVIL    WAR,  1864. 

men  of  cities  as  recruiting  agents,  and  none  others,  so  that  the  business 
will  be  performed  by  responsible  parties. 

Recruits  wiU  be  mustered  into  the  service  of  the  United  States  by 
me,  thereby  securing  a  more  simple  manner  of  credit  to  the  different 
sub-districts,  and  in  all  cases  to  be  regarded  as  final.  No  other  claim 
for  expenditure  on  account  of  recruiting  service  (beyond  the  premiums) 
will  be  entertained. 

Very  respectfully, 

Danl.  H.  Johnson,  Jr., 
Captain  and  Provost-Marshal  5th  District  Massachusetts. 


At  a  meeting  of  the  city  council,  Monday  evening,  June  6th, 
Mayor  Jackman  presented  the  following  recommendations:  — 


City  op  Newburyport. 
To  THE  City  Council: 

Gentlemen,  —  Having  received  notices  from  the  Adjutant-General  of 
the  Commonwealth,  and  from  the  Provost-Marshal  of  District  No.  5, 
that  in  anticipation  of  another  call  for  men  by  the  United  States  Govern- 
ment, to  fill  up  the  regiments  now  in  the  field  from  this  State,  they  are 
now  ready  to  receive  recruits  for  such  call  as  may  hereafter  be  made, 
and  to  accredit  the  same  to  the  several  towns  and  cities  that  may  furnish 
them. 

I  would  therefore  recommend  that  the  city  council  offer  such  bounty 
as  the  State  law  recognizes  (the  same  being  $125)  to  any  person  who 
will  enlist  as  a  volunteer  from  this  city,  and  who  shall  be  accredited  as 
one  of  its  quota. 

The  government  allows  a  recruiting  fee  of  $10  for  raw  recruits,  and 
$15  for  veterans,  to  be  paid  to  the  recruiting  officer  as  soon  as  the  recruit 
shall  have  been  received  at  Gallop's  Island,  Boston  Harbor. 

The  State  still  continues  their  bounty  of  $300,  which  will  also  be 
paid  to  the  recruit  within  the  week  that  he  shall  arrive  at  Gallop's  Island. 

The  government  also  pay  a  bounty  of  $100  to  each  recruit,  $25  of 
which  will  be  paid  on  being  mustered  into  the  service,  and  the  remaining 
$75  at  the  end  of  his  term  of  enlistment. 

We  have  now  accredited  to  the  city  17  men,  on  the  next  call  that 
may  be  made,  and  I  have  no  doubt  but  that  we  shall  have  a  much  larger 
number  to  our  credit  when  we  get  our  rolls  all  made  up;  but  be  that  as 
it  may,  I  am  very  desirous,  and  confidentially  trust,  that  we  shall  with 
proper  care  and  diligence  on  our  part,  be  able  to  furnish  the  men  called 
for  from  this  city,  voluntarily  between  now  and  the  time  the  draft  may 
be  ordered. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

Geo.  W.  Jackman,  Jr.,  Mayor. 


NEWBUEYPOET   EST   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1864.  169 

June  8th  (Wednesday).  Acting  upon  the  suggestion  of  the 
city  council,  the  mayor  issued  the  following  call  for  enlist- 
ments :  — 

VOLUNTEEKS   FOR   THE    SEVERAL    MASSACHUSETTS  REGIMENTS 

NOW   IN   THE    FIELD    WANTED   BY   THE    CITY   OF 

NEWBURYPORT 

For  wliich  a  bounty  will  be  paid  by  the  city  of $125.00 

Bounty  to  be  paid  by  the  State 325.00 

Bounty  to  be  paid  by  the  United  States  Government   ....  100.00 

Making  the  sum  of $550.00 

The  city  bovmty  will  be  paid  immediately  on  presentation  to  the 
city  treasurer  of  a  certificate  from  the  provost-marshal  of  this  district, 
that  the  recruit  has  been  mustered  into  the  service  of  the  United  States, 
and  accredited  to  the  city  of  Newburyport. 

The  State  bounty  will  be  paid  to  the  recruit  only  within  one  week 
after  his  arrival  at  Gallop's  Island,  Boston  Harbor. 

The  government  bounty,  $25,  will  be  paid  before  leaving  the  State, 
and  the  remaining  $75  on  the  expiration  of  the  term  of  enlistment. 

The  recruit  can  rest  assured  that  there  will  be  no  delay  in  the  pay- 
ment of  the  city  and  State  bounties. 

Recruiting  offices  are  now  open,  —  one  at  the  city  marshal's  office, 
under  the  charge  of  Nehemiah  Flanders;  and  one  at  No.  11  State  Street, 
under  the  charge  of  Lieut.  John  W.  Ricker. 

Geo.  W.  Jackman,  Jr.,  Mayor. 
Newburyport,  June  8th,  1864. 

June  20th  (Monday).  John  G.  Dillingham  of  Company  G, 
32d  Massachusetts  Infantry,  was  buried  from  the  depot  of  the 
Newburyport  Railroad  at  nine  o'clock  this  evening,  on  the 
arrival  of  the  train  from  Boston.  The  exercises  were  con- 
ducted by  Rev.  James  N.  Sykes  of  the  Congress  Street  Bap- 
tist Church,  and  were  most  solemn  and  impressive.  Mr. 
Dillingham  was  born  in  Searsport,  Me.,  Sept.  20th,  1829,  and 
was  the  son  of  WilHam  and  Mary  Dillingham. 

June  20th.  At  the  meeting  of  the  city  council,  the  follow- 
ing order  regarding  the  enrollment  list  was  adopted :  — 

"  That  a  joint  special  committee,  consisting  of  the  board  of  mayor 
and  aldermen,  and  one  member  of  the  common  coimcil  from  each  ward, 
be  appointed  to  revise  the  enrollment  list  without  delay,  in  order  that 


170  NEWBURYPORT   IN    THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1864. 

it  may  be  in  readiness  when  the  anticipated  draft  for  the  month  of  July 
shall  be  put  in  force."  In  addition  to  the  mayor  and  aldermen,  Coun- 
cilmen  William  Forbes,  Samuel  A.  Smith,  Thomas  C.  Goodwin,  Joliu 
Currier,  3d,  Thomas  H.  Cutter,  and  Paul  G.  Lunt  constituted  the  com- 
mittee. 

In  May,  1864,  the  enrollment  Act  was  amended  by  Con- 
gress, abolishing  all  the  exemptions  of  the  original  Act  be- 
cause of  social  relations,  and  consolidating  the  first  and  second 
classes,  thus  making  all  between  the  ages  of  twenty  and  forty- 
five  years  equally  liable  to  the  draft.  The  amendments  which 
made  this  law  so  rigid  were  drawn  up  and  recommended  to 
Congress  by  a  member  of  the  Enrolling  Board  of  this  district, 
and  very  greatly  diminished  the  chances  of  exemption  for 
physical  disability.  The  commutation  clause  was  of  no  per- 
manent benefit  to  the  person  liable  to  draft,  —  it  simply 
released  him  from  a  particular  conscription:  neither  would  the 
furnishing  of  a  substitute,  unless  he  be  an  alien,  exempt  the 
principal  for  three  years.  If  the  substitute  be  an  able-bodied 
man  of  suitable  age  liable  to  military  duty,  the  person  fur- 
nishing such  substitute  was  again  liable  when  that  particular 
enrollment  was  exhausted.  If,  again,  the  substitute  be  but 
eighteen  years  of  age,  the  drafted  man  was  exempt  for  but 
two  years,  at  the  end  of  which  time  the  substitute  having 
arrived  at  the  age  of  twenty  years,  both  he  and  the  principal 
were  liable. 

June  24th  (Friday).  In  the  Newburyport  Herald  the 
mayor  publishes  the  following  communication  under  the  cap- 
tion of  "How  Shall  We  Escape  the  Draft?"  — 

Mr.  Editor,  —  The  city  of  Newburyport  should  at  once  proceed  to 
enlist  men  for  the  army  and  navy  of  our  government.  In  what  way  are 
we  to  furnish  our  quota  for  the  next  call,  which,  without  doubt,  will 
be  ordered  immediately?  We  must  do  as  well  by  the  men  who  enlist 
as  other  towns  and  cities  in  the  Commonwealth,  or  we  cannot  obtain 
them.  I  would  Hke  to  know  whether  there  is  any  class  of  our  citizens 
that  would  like  to  have  another  draft  made  here?  If  there  is,  I  wnsh 
they  would  make  themselves  known,  and  let  the  citizens  at  large  know 
their  views  upon  the  subject. 

The  city  council  has  offered  all  the  bounty  it  has  a  right  to  under 
the  State  law.     I  notice  in  the  Herald  of  Wednesday,  that  the  town  of 


NEWBUKYPORT    IN    THE    CIVIL    WAR,  1864.  171 

Georgetown  offers  $625  for  volunteers.  Seventj^  dollars  of  that  sum 
must  be  raised  by  subscription  among  her  citizens.  Cannot  our  rich 
and  influential  men  come  forward  with  their  money  and  their  influence 
in  this  cause,  and  show  by  their  liberality  that  they  do  not  want  a  draft 
here,  but  are  willing  to  subscribe  a  sum  of  money,  so  that,  with  the  other 
bounties  offered  by  the  government,  State,  and  city,  we  may  be  able  to 
offer  men  who  will  enlist  from  this  city,  as  large  a  sum  of  mone}'  as  they 
can  obtain  elsewhere? 

The  War  Department  have  decided  that  men  must  be  credited  to 
the  town  where  their  names  appear  on  the  muster  roll;  consequently, 
we  are  losing  our  men  every  day,  for  the  want  of  funds  to  pay  them  what 
they  can  obtain  in  other  places;  and  unless  there  is  an  effort  made  here 
on  the  part  of  our  citizens  to  raise  a  fund  in  order  that  the  city  may  be 
able  to  pay  as  high  a  bounty  for  men  as  other  towns  do,  it  will  be  impos- 
sible to  enlist  a  single  man  here,  and  our  men  will  have  to  be  raised  by 
draft,  which  I  shall  very  much  regret. 

Yours  very  truly, 

Geo.  W.  Jackman,  Jr.,  Mayor. 
June  23d,  1864. 

July  Ath  (Monday).  By  order  of  the  city  council  the 
mayor  caused  the  various  church  bells  in  the  city  to  be  rung 
one  half-hour  at  sunrise,  noon,  and  sunset,  and  a  national 
salute  to  be  fired  at  the  same  hours. 

July  5th.  At  a  meeting  of  the  city  council,  the  follo\\dng 
orders  introduced  by  Alderman  Greenough  were  adopted:  — 

That  the  mayor  be  and  herebj^  is  authorized  to  hire  a  sum  of  money 
not  exceeding  twenty  thousand  (20.000)  dollars  to  pay  bounties  to  sol- 
diers to  fill  the  quota  of  this  city  under  the  next  call. 

That  the  mayor  be  requested  to  call  a  public  meeting  of  the  citi- 
zens of  this  city  for  the  purpose  of  taking  measures  to  raise  the  men 
likely  to  be  called  for  by  the  President  in  the  next  call  for  troops  to  fill 
the  quota  of  this  city. 

At  the  same  meeting  the  ma^'or  laid  before  the  board  a 
communication  from  the  General  Recruiting  Committee  — 

That  all  money  that  may  be  rai.'^ed  in  separate  wards  be  kept  for 
each  separate  ward  as  a  Ward  Fund  until  the  quota  for  said  wards  are 
full,  and  the  surplus  of  each  ward  shall  be  paid  pro  rata  among  the  wards 
according  to  the  number  desired  to  make  out  their  respective  quotas, 
whose  quotas  are  not  full. 


172  NEWBURYPORT    IN    THE    CIVIL    WAR,  1864. 

In  conformity  to  the  above  order,  the  mayor  through  the 
Herald  issued  the  following  call:  — 

City  of  Newburyport, 

Mayor's  Office,  July  7th,  1864. 

By  a  vote  of  the  city  council,  I  am  directed  to  call  a  meeting  of  the 

citizens  for  the  purpose  of  consulting  upon  the  most  feasible  plan  to 

raise  men  for  the  quota  of  the  city  under  the  next  call  of  the  President. 

I  do  therefore  request  all  legal  voters  to  meet  at  the  City  Hall  on 

Saturday  evening  next,  9th  inst.,  at  eight  o'clock,  for  the  purpose  above 

named. 

Geo.  W.  Jackman,  Jr.,  Mayor. 

The  meeting  in  answer  to  this  call  was  well  attended  and 
spirited.  Mayor  Jackman  presided,  and  Albert  W.  Greenleaf, 
Esq.,  acted  as  secretary.  After  giving  some  valuable  informa- 
tion regarding  what  had  been  done  by  the  city  in  providing 
men  and  means,  the  chairman  called  upon  those  present  to 
propose  some  plan  by  which  the  quota  of  Newburyport  could 
be  filled.  On  motion  of  Philip  K.  Hills,  Esq.,  a  committee, 
consisting  of  PhiHp  K.  Hills,  Paul  G.  Lunt,  Charles  T.  Smith, 
Richard  Stone,  William  H.  Huse,  and  Dr.  Henry  C.  Perkins, 
was  selected  to  prepare  and  present  some  plan  of  action. 
After  remarks  by  Phihp  K.  Hills,  Esq.,  Col.  Eben  F.  Stone, 
and  Capt.  Henry  W.  Moulton,  the  meeting  adjourned  to 
Monday  evening. 

July  Wth  (Monday).  The  citizens'  meeting,  held  this  even- 
ing by  adjournment  from  Saturday  evening  last,  was  very 
large  and  interesting,  the  mayor  presiding.  The  committee 
appointed  at  the  previous  meeting  reported  the  following 
resolutions,  which  were  unanimously  adopted:  — 


Resolved,  That  in  view  of  the  critical  situation  of  our  national  affairs, 
and  of  the  moral  certainty  that  a  draft  will  soon  be  ordered  by  the  gov- 
ernment, it  is  of  primary  importance  that  some  scheme  should  be  imme- 
diately organized  whereby  our  fellow-citizens  shall  be  reasonably  secure 
against  the  risks  and  evils  of  a  draft,  and  the  city  be  enabled,  promptly 
and  honorably,  to  recognize  and  discharge  its  duties  and  responsibilities; 
therefore. 

Resolved,  That  the  citizens  of  Newburyport  do  hereby  resolve  them- 
selves into  an  association,  in  the  nature  of  a  mutual  insurance  company, 


NEWBUKYPOKT    IN    THE    CIVIL   WAR,  1864.  173 

for  their  mutual  protection,  and  do  agree  by  individual  contribution  to 
raise  a  fund  for  the  purpose  of  procuring  substitutes  and  volunteers  until 
the  quota  of  the  city  is  full. 

Resolved,  That  to  secure  the  formation  of  this  fund  it  is  important 
that  some  authoritative  expression  of  opinion  should  be  had  in  regard 
to  the  minimum  sum  which  it  is  the  duty  of  every  loyal  citizen  to  pay, 
trusting  to  the  generosity  and  patriotism  of  every  man  to  increase  this 
sum  when  his  means  wU  admit;  therefore,  it  is  decided  that  it  is  the  duty 
of  every  citizen  liable  to  a  draft  to  contribute  at  least  twenty  (20)  dollars, 
and  that  this  contribution  shall  be  regarded,  not  as  a  voluntary  gift, 
but  as  the  discharge  of  an  obligation  which  cannot  be  honorably  denied 
or  repudiated. 

Resolved,  That  it  is  the  duty  of  all  loyal  citizens  to  do  all  in  their 
power  to  create  a  public  sentiment  which  shall  enforce  and  give  effect 
to  this  scheme  by  making  it  discreditable  for  any  man,  whether  liable 
to  military  duty  or  not,  to  refuse  the  payment  of  his  just  proportion  of 
the  general  fund;  and  to  this  end  the  Committee  of  Assessment  and  Col- 
lection shall  publish,  from  time  to  time,  the  names  of  the  contributors, 
with  the  amount  subscribed  by  each. 

Resolved,  That  a  Committee  of  Assessment  and  Collection  be  ap- 
pointed, consisting  of  the  chairman  and  secretary  of  the  meeting,  with 
three  men  from  each  ward,  whose  duty  it  shall  be  to  solicit  and  collect 
from  the  citizens  of  their  respective  wards  their  proportion  of  the  gen- 
eral fimd;  and  the  payment  so  obtained  shall,  subject  to  the  following 
conditions,  be  deposited  with  the  city  treasurer,  to  the  credit  of  the  re- 
spective wards,  and  subject  to  the  order  of  the  mayor  and  aldermen, 
who  shall  apply  the  same  equitably,  in  such  a  manner  as  to  protect  the 
interests  of  the  different  wards  in  proportion  to  their  respective  contri- 
butions; and  to  secure  this  equitable  distribution  of  the  funds,  it  shall 
be  the  duty  of  the  committee,  before  the  money  collected  by  them  is 
deposited  with  the  city  treasurer,  to  agree  with  the  Board  of  mayor  and 
aldermen  upon  some  plan  of  distribution  which  shall,  in  their  opinion, 
adequately  protect  the  interests  of  the  different  wards.  And  this  com- 
mittee shall  also  make  it  a  condition  of  their  deposit  that  they  shall  be 
entitled,  at  any  time,  to  inspect  the  books  of  the  treasurer  and  ascertain 
how  the  money  has  been  applied. 

Resolved,  That  the  funds  obtained  by  this  scheme  shall  be  applied 
exclusively  to  the  payment  of  bounties  to  volunteers  or  substitutes;  and 
no  part  of  the  same  shall  be  expended  in  the  cost  of  advertisements  or 
music,  or  other  incidental  expenses. 

Resolved,  That  as  an  inducement  to  encourage  the  most  liberal  do- 
nations on  the  part  of  our  citizens,  it  is  expedient  to  provide  that  each 
contributor,  in  case  of  being  personally  drafted,  shall  have  the  right 
to  draw  from  the  general  fund  double  the  amount  he  has  paid  in,  pro- 
vided the  condition  of  the  treasury  will  justify  such  a  draft,  and  the 
amount  thereof  does  not  exceed  the  bounty  offered  by  the  city  for  a 


174  NEWBUKYPOKT    IN    THE    CIVIL   WAR,  1864. 

volunteer;  otherwise,  pro  rata.  And  it  is  expedient  further  to  provide 
that  any  subscriber  who  has  paid  a  sum  not  less  than  the  minimum  shall 
have  the  right  of  drawing  from  the  treasury  the  amount  paid  as  a  bounty 
to  volunteers,  if  he  shall  furnish  a  substitute  or  representative  recruit. 

The  committee  to  carry  out  the  above  program  in  their 
several  wards  was  as  follows :  — 

Ward  1.  Moses  t'ettingell,  Jr.,  B.  Gardiner  Gerrish,  and  Rufus 
Adams. 

Ward  2.  Charles  M.  Bayley,  William  B.  Currier,  and  Richard  Plumer. 

Ward  3.  Warren  Currier,  David  J.  Adams,  and  Amos  Noyes. 

Ward  4.  Eben  F.  Stone,  William  Forbes,  and  John  R.  Longfellow. 

Ward  5.  Charles  H.  Coffin,  Albert  W.  Stevens,  and  WiUiam  P. 
Jones. 

Ward  6.  John  D.  Pike,  Moses  A.  Currier,  and  Moses  H.  Fowler. 

General  Order  No.  24  from  the  adjutant-general's  office, 
dated  Boston,  July  6th,  1864,  stated  that  5,000  infantry  volun- 
teers had  been  called  for  from  Massachusetts,  for  one  hun- 
dred days'  service  in  the  fortifications  near  the  city  of  Wash- 
ington; that  the  services  of  the  men  were  required  at  once, 
and  ordering  the  officers  in  command  of  regiments  and  com- 
panies of  Massachusetts  militia  to  immediately  perfect  their 
organizations  and  report  for  orders.  The  order  further 
stated  that  in  addition  to  the  United  States  pay  each  non- 
commissioned officer  and  private  would  receive  from  the  Com- 
monwealth twenty  (20)  dollars  per  month  during  his  term  of 
service,  also  that  volunteers  under  this  call  would  be  exempted 
from  any  draft  that  might  be  ordered  during  such  term  of  one 
hundred  days'  service.  In  compliance  with  this  order,  Capt. 
Stephen  D.  Gardiner  of  the  Gushing  Guards,  July  7th,  published 
the  following  order:  — 

In  response  to  General  Order  No.  24,  every  member  of  Company 
A,  Gushing  Guards,  8th  Regiment  M.  V.  M.,  is  requested  to  report  at 
the  armory.  No.  12  Hale's  Court,  at  eight  o'clock  this  p.m.,  to  take  meas- 
ures for  immediately  recruiting  the  corps  for  one  hundred  days'  service 
in  the  forts  around  Washington.  It  is  hoped  that  every  member  will 
readily  respond  and  use  his  utmost  endeavor  to  fill  up  the  corps.  .  .  . 

Stephen  D.  Gardiner,  Captain. 


NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1864.  175 

July  13th.  At  a  special  meeting  of  the  city  council,  an 
order  was  adopted  authorizing  the  mayor  to  hire  a  sum  of 
money  sufficient  to  pay  to  each  private  and  non-commissioned 
officer  of  Company  A,  8th  Massachusetts  Regiment,  Gushing 
Guards,  twenty  dollars,  until  such  time  as  they  shall  receive 
their  allotment  from  the  State. 

An  order  was  also  adopted  authorizing  the  mayor  to  em- 
ploy a  suitable  person  or  persons  to  ascertain  the  names  of 
all  those  enrolled  in  this  city  who  have  attained  the  age  of 
forty-five  years,  and  also  all  aliens,  and  take  such  steps  as 
may  be  necessary  to  have  their  names  stricken  from  the  list. 

July  18th  (Monday).  A  call  for  500,000  men  by  the 
President  of  the  United  States. 

A  PROCLAMATION. 

Whereas,  By  an  Act  approved  July  6th,  1864,  it  is  provided  that  the 
President  of  the  United  States  may  call  for  any  number  of  men  as  volun- 
teers, for  the  respective  terms  of  one,  two,  and  three  years  for  military 
service,  and  that  in  case  the  quota  or  any  part  thereof  of  any  town,  town- 
ship, ward  of  a  city,  precinct,  or  election  district,  or  of  a  county  not  so 
subdivided,  shall  not  be  filled  witliin  fifty  days  after  such  call,  the  Presi- 
dent shall  immediately  order  a  draft  for  one  year,  to  fill  such  quota  or 
any  part  thereof  which  may  be  unfilled,  and 

Whereas,  The  new  enrollment  heretofore  ordered  is  so  far  completed 
as  that  the  aforementioned  Act  may  now  be  put  in  operation  for  recruit- 
ing and  keeping  up  the  strength  of  the  armies  in  the  field,  for  garrisons 
and  such  military  operations  as  may  be  required  for  the  purpose  of  sup- 
pressing the  rebellion  and  restoring  the  authority  of  the  United  States 
in  the  insurgent  States, 

Now,  therefore,  I,  Abraham  Lincoln,  President  of  the  United  States, 
do  issue  this  my  call  for  five  hundred  thousand  volunteers  for  military 
service,  provided,  nevertheless,  that  all  credits  that  may  be  established 
under  section  eight  of  aforesaid  Act,  on  account  of  persons  who  have 
entered  the  naval  service  during  the  present  rebellion,  and  by  credits 
for  men  furnished  to  military  service  in  excess  of  calls  heretofore  made 
for  volunteers,  will  be  accepted  under  the  call  for  one,  two,  or  tliree  years 
as  they  may  elect,  and  will  be  entitled  to  the  bounty  provided  by  law 
for  the  period  of  service  for  which  they  enlist,  and  I  hereby  proclaim, 
order,  and  direct  that  immediately  after  the  fifth  of  September,  being 
fifty  days  from  the  date  of  this  call,  a  draft  for  troops  to  serve  for  one 
year  shall  be  held  in  every  town,  township,  ward  of  a  city,  precinct, 
election  district,  or  as  a  county  not  so  subdivided,  to  fill  the  quota  which 


176  NEWBUEYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1864. 

shall  be  assigned  to  it  under  this  call  or  any  part  hereof  which  may  be 
unfilled  by  volunteers  on  the  said  fifth  day  of  September,  1864. 

(Signed)        Abraham  Lincoln. 
By  the  President, 

Wm.  H.  Seward,  Secretary  of  State. 
Washington,  July  ISth,  1864. 

The  demand  upon  the  State  under  this  call  was  for  21,670 
men;  the  number  to  be  furnished  by  the  5th  District,  2,123 
men;  the  quota  assigned  to  Newbury  port  was  for  Ward  One, 
43;  Ward  Two,  31;  Ward  Three,  30;  Ward  Four,  32;  Ward 
Five,  30;  Ward  Six,  35;  Total,  201  men. 

July  19th.  The  Gushing  Guards,  Company  A  of  the  8th 
Regiment,  having  recruited  to  the  maximum  number,  under 
the  call  for  one  hundred  days,  left  the  city  for  camp  at  Read- 
ville,  Mass.  The  company  was  mustered  into  the  United 
States  service  July  23d  as  Company  H,  60th  Regiment  Infantry, 
M.  V.  M.

Private  Augustus  Rust. 

The  60th  Infantry,  Massachusetts  Volunteer  MiHtia,  was 
mustered  into  service  July,  1864,  at  Readville,  Mass.,  and  left 
the  State  August  1st.  It  was  ordered  to  Indianapohs,  Ind., 
where  it  remained,  doing  guard  duty  until  the  expiration  of 
its  term.  It  was  mustered  out  Nov.  30th,  1864.  None  of  those 
w^ho  served  in  the  one  hundred  days'  militia  organizations 
were  credited  to  the  quota  of  the  State,  consequently  the 
enlistments  in  the  above  companies  did  not  count  on  the 
quota  of  the  city. 

Jultj  23c?.  The  mayor,  in  behalf  of  the  Assessment  and 
Collection  Committee,  made  the  following  appeal  through  the 
Herald :  — 

THE   LAST  APPEAL. 

The  only  partial  success  of  the  efforts  of  the  Citizens'  Committee 
thus  far  to  obtain  a  fund  for  the  purchase  of  recruits,  has  induced  them 
to  make  the  following  statement.  The  quota  of  the  city  imder  the  pre- 
vious call  for  500,000  men  was  306.  The  credits  which  the  city  will 
probably  have  allowed,  including  those  from  the  navy,  will  amount  to 
about  100.  Assuming,  therefore,  that  the  quota  in  this  case  will  be 
about  the  same  as  before,  the  city,  under  the  present  call,  will  have  to 
raise  about  200  men.     The  committee  think  that  they  are  warranted 


178  NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1864. 

in  saj'ing  that,  if  a  fund  of  $25,000  can  be  formed,  the  required  number 
of  men  can  be  secured.  The  amount  now  .subscribed  is  about  $11,000 
by  persons  liable  to  military  duty,  very  few  of  this  class  refusing  to  sub- 
scribe their  proportion  of  $20  or  upwards.  What  is  needed  is  a  more 
generous  contribution  from  tho.se  persons  who  are  exempt  from  a  draft, 
and  unless  it  be  possible  to  persuade  them  to  increase  their  contributions, 
the  draft  cannot  be  avoided. 

Certainly,  lo3^al  men,  whose  rights  and  property  are  at  stake,  will 
not  insist  that  it  is  the  duty  exclusively  of  those  who  are  liable  to  a  draft 
to  protect  them.selves,  without  looking  for  aid  and  support  from  tho.se 
of  their  fellow-citizens  who,  though  largely  interested  in  the  integrity 
of  the  government,  by  reason  of  age  are  exempt  from  military  duty. 
Neither  can  it  be  reasonably  objected  that  this  money  should  be  raised 
by  a  tax,  since  the  entire  power  to  assess  and  enforce  a  tax  for  this  pur- 
pose is  limited  by  law  to  a  bounty  of  $125,  which  has  already  been  ex- 
hausted. If  the  amount  needed  in  addition  to  the  bounty  of  $125  be 
raised  at  all,  it  must  be  done  by  the  voluntary  act  of  the  citizens.  There 
is  not,  under  the  law,  any  compulsory  power. 

The  committee  would  suggest,  that  if  those  not  liable  to  a  draft 
will  subscribe  a  sum  not  less  than  one-fourth  of  their  annual  city  tax, 
the  sum  required  to  meet  this  exigency  can  be  raised  without  any  diffi- 
culty, and  that,  too,  without  any  injustice  or  inequality.  If  it  be  under- 
stood that  a  subscription  upon  this  principle  will  supply  the  amount 
needed,  and  will  be  considered  a  full  discharge  of  every  man's  duty  in 
the  premises,  every  man  who  is  desirous  of  doing  his  share  can  easily 
determine  what  that  is.  This  suggestion  is  made  in  no  spirit  of  dicta- 
tion, but  in  the  hope  that  something,  in  this  way,  may  be  done  towards 
removing  certain  obstacles  in  the  way  of  an  equal  subscription. 

Whatever  is  done  must  be  done  quickly.  Already  the  neighboring 
towns,  by  superior  diligence,  and  by  means  of  a  plan  similar  to  the  one 
adopted  by  us,  have  obtained  their  full  quotas.  It  is  to  be  hoped  that 
we  shall  succeed  in  avoiding  a  draft.  But  we  can  only  do  it  by  display- 
ing an  activity  and  spirit  of  generous  loyalty  commensurate  with  the 
occasion. 

By  order  of  the  committee,

council,  the  following  order  was  adopted:  "That  the  mayor  be 
and  is  hereby  authorized  to  deposit  with  the  treasurer  of  the 
Commonwealth  the  sum  of  $6,250.00,  in  accordance  with 
General  Order  No.  27,  for  the  purpose  of  procuring  recruits 
to  be  passed  to  the  credit  of  the  quota  of  the  city  of  New- 
buryport." 

July  30th  (Sunday).  A  union  meeting  of  the  several  con- 
gregations of  this  city  was  held  at  the  North  Church  this 
evening  in  aid  of  the  suffering  Union  refugees  who  are  being 
brought  to  Cairo,  111.,  in  great  numbers.  The  meeting  was 
largely  attended,  and  was  addressed  by  Rev.  E.  Fulsom, 
Hospital  Chaplain  at  Cairo,  who  was  travehng  under  special 
orders  from  the  Department  Commander.  The  collection  in 
money  amounted  to  $70.80,  and  pledges  from  Charles  H. 
Coffin  of  $100;  the  Prospect  Street  Sabbath  School,  by  their 
superintendent,  Capt.  Charles  M.  Bailey,  $100;  individual 
pledges,  $114,  —  making  a  total  of  $385.80. 

$450  "FOR  ONE  YEAR  VOLUNTEERS. 

The  city  of  Newburyport  will  pay  for  volunteers  to  fill  up  its 

quota  for  the  last  call $250.00 

State  bounty       100.00 

Government  bounty IQO-OQ 

Making  the  sum  of $450.00 

Besides  monthly  pay  $16 192.00 

Clothing 42.00 

Making  the  handsome  sum  of       $684.00 

Besides  board  of  recruit,  and  State  aid  to  his  family  for  one  year's 
service.  .  .  . 

Now  is  the  time  for  those  to  enlist  who  are  desirous  to  serve  their 
country  for  one  year,  and  to  be  well  paid  for  their  time.     The  bounties 


180  NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CmL   WAR,  1864. 

offered  alone  exceed  any  ever  paid  for  the  term  of  one  year,  by  any  city 
or  town  in  the  State,  and  is  better  pay  —  including  board  and  State  aid 
—  than  can  be  earned  by  most  of  our  best  mechanics. 

Bounties $684.00 

52  weeks'  board,  say  at  $3  per  week        156.00 

State  aid  to  family  of  three 144.00 

Amounting  for  one  year's  service $984.00 

I  trust  that  the  very  liberal  bounty  here  offered  by  the  city,  together 
with  the  Government  and  State  bounties  offered,  will  induce  a  sufficient 
number  to  come  forward  at  once  and  fill  the  quota  of  the  city. 

Geo.  W.  Jackman,  Jr.,  Mayor. 
Newburyport,  Aug.  1st,  1864. 

The  amount  of  real  estate  assessed  in  1864 $3,268,700 

Of  personal  estate 3,425,000 

Total $6,693,700 

The  rate  of  taxation  was  the  same  as  in  1863,  or  $14  on  the  $1,000, 
and  is  as  follows: 

Tax  on  real  estate $45,761.80 

Tax  on  personal  estate 47,950.00 

Polls  at  $2 5,056.00 

Total $98,767.80 

The  number  of  polls  2,528,  which  is  180  more  than  in  1863. 

By  the  above  it  •w'ill  be  seen  that  the  real  estate  valuation  is  $220,000 
more  than  last  year,  and  the  personal  estate  $30,000  in  excess  of  last 
year,  notwithstanding  the  exemption  of  a  large  amount  of  property  in- 
vested in  banlis  and  manufacturing  companies  taxed  by  the  State,  and 
the  very  large  number  of  national  bonds  held  by  our  citizens,  which  are 
entirely  free  from  taxation. 

August  5th.  The  City  Cadets  having  served  their  hundred 
days,  returned  from  Winter  Island  to-day.  They  marched 
through  the  principal  streets  of  the  city  in  the  afternoon, 
accompanied  by  Hall's  Band  of  Boston.  A  warm  reception 
was  given  them  at  the  City  Hall,  where  a  collation  was  pre- 
pared and  a  large  company  of  friends  assembled  to  bid  them 
welcome. 

At  the  city  council  meeting  this  evening,  the  mayor  laid 
before  the  board  a  return  of  those  persons  who  have  enlisted

in  the  navy  of  the  United  States  from  this  city  since  the 
19th  day  of  April,  1861,  which  was  signed  by  the  mayor  and 
aldermen  as  required  by  law,  and  ordered  to  be  transmitted 
to  the  adjutant-general  of  the  Commonwealth.

RECEPTION   OF   THE   VETERANS   OF   COMPANY   A,    17th 
MASSACHUSETTS   INFANTRY. 

October  Sd  (Monday).  The  re-enlisted  men  of  Company  A, 
17th  Massachusetts  Infantry,  who  had  returned  to  their  homes 
on  veteran  furloughs,  were  received  by  their  friends  and  former 
associates  in  arms  this  afternoon.  Besides  the  veterans  of  the 
17th,  an  invitation  was  extended  to  those  of  Company  B, 


182  NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,    1864. 

40th  New  York  (Mozart)  Regiment,  and  others,  who  had 
returned  from  active  duty  in  the  field,  so  that  nearly  one 
hundred  soldiers  were  assembled. 

The  City  Hall,  where  they  gathered,  was  tastefully  deco- 
rated with  flags  and  bunting,  and  crowded  with  a  large  con- 
course of  citizens,  who  were  anxious  to  testify  their  appre- 
ciation of  the  services  of  those  whose  patriotism  had  prompted 
them  to  renew  their  enlistment,  and  continue  to  battle  for 
justice  and  right.  From  the  City  Hall  they  were  accompanied 
by  Hall's  Brass  Band  of  Boston  to  the  Ocean  House,  where 
Math  invited  guests  they  sat  down  to  a  sumptuous  dinner. 
After  all  were  seated,  William  E.  Currier,  Esq.,  who  acted  as 
chairman,  welcomed  the  veterans  in  the  following  address:  — 


Veteran  Soldiers  of  Company  A,  17th  Regiment 

Massachusetts  Volunteers: 

Your  early  associates  in  arms,  and  a  few  of  your  numerous  friends 
in  this  city,  have  assembled  here  to  greet  and  welcome  you  on  your  tem- 
porary sojourn  to  the  hearthstones  of  youthful  days.  We  welcome  you 
to  the  home  of  virtue,  truth,  and  love,  —  the  place  of  all  the  world  the 
best,  the  spot  more  dear  than  all  the  rest.  We  are  here  to  express  our 
appreciation  of  your  patriotism  and  valor,  and  to  say  to  you,  The  people 
of  the  city  honor  you ;  the  State  is  proud  to  own  you ;  and  the  nation  will 
reward  you;  for  you  have  come  from  the  battlefield  with  victories  on 
your  banners  and  glory  on  your  shields. 

You  have  been  engaged  in  a  righteous  cause,  and  for  more  than  three 
years  you  have  dwelt  on  the  tented  field,  fighting  your  country's  battles; 
you  have  made  forced  marches,  and  given  battle  to  the  enemy;  and  your 
victories  at  Whitehall,  New  Berne,  Kinston,  and  Goldsboro  have  won  for 
you  imperishable  honor. 

Three  and  a  half  years  of  war  has  brought  the  enemy  to  narrow 
limits;  and  the  late  victories  of  Sherman  in  the  South,  Sheridan  in  the 
valley  of  the  Shenandoah,  and  Grant  in  Virginia,  have  circumscribed 
their  boundaries,  and  tell  you  that  the  power  of  the  enemy  is  fast  fading 
away.  Their  forces  concentrated  at  Richmond  are  now  being  met;  and 
as  God  rules  the  armies  and  governs  the  destinies  of  men,  the  legions 
are  to  be  scattered,  their  capital  is  to  fall,  and  victory  on  victory  ex- 
tinguish the  rebellion,  when  peace  shall  again  reign  throughout  the  length 
and  breadth  of  our  glorious  Union,  and  the  Stars  and  Stripes  wave  over 
all  the  country  which  we  possessed  in  1860. 

Again  I  say,  Welcome!  welcome  to  the  banquet  provided  for  you 
as  a  token  of  our  love. 


NEWBUEYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1864.  183 

Following  the  dinner,  speeches  were  made  by  George  J. 
L.  Colby,  Esq.,  Moody  D.  Cook,  Lieut.  Joseph  W.  Stevens, 
and  George  E.  Van  Moll,  of  the  26th  New  York  Cavalry, 
Isaac  Hale,  Jr.,  and  Lieut.  John  W.  Ricker,  of  the  48th. 

The  ceremonies  of  the  day  were  concluded  with  a  prome- 
nade concert  and  dance  at  the  City  Hall,  where  the  brave 
sons  and  daughters  enjoyed  themselves  until  admonished  by 
the  flight  of  time  to  return  to  their  homes. 

The  following  is  a  list  of  those  who  re-enlisted  in  Company 
A,  17th  Massachusetts  Infantry,  credited  to  Newbury  port, 
and  who  returned  on  veteran  furlough :  —

October  28th.  The  mayor,  as  chairman  of  the  committee 
to  raise  a  fund  for  the  providing  of  substitutes,  issued  the 
following  notice  to  those  who  were  delinquent  in  the  payment 
of  their  subscriptions :  — 

All  those  persons  who  subscribed  to  the  fund  for  the  purpose  of 
filling  the  last  quota  of  men  from  this  city  for  the  army  of  the  United 
States,  that  have  not  paid  their  subscription,  are  particularly  called  upon 
to  pay  the  same  immediately  either  to  the  committee,  or  directly  to  Daniel 
Granger,  City  Treasurer,  who  will  receive  and  receipt  for  the  same. 

It  is  very  desirous  that  this  money  should  be  paid  in,  in  order  that 
the  matter  relating  thereto  may  be  settled  up. 

There  will  be  another  call  at  once  for  more  men,  and  arrangements 
should  be  made,  as  it  now  can  be,  to  enlist  men  enough  to  cover  the  next 
calL 

Geo.  W.  Jackman,  Jr., 

Chairman  of  Committee. 

October  Zlst  (Monday).  At  a  special  meeting  of  the  city 
council,  the  following  order  wa.s  adopted:  — 


184  NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1864. 

That  the  mayor  be  and  hereby  is  authorized  to  hire  a  sufficient  sum 
of  money  to  obtain  one  hundred  and  twenty-five  recruits  to  put  into 
the  service  of  the  United  States  and  to  be  credited  to  this  city,  provided 
that  the  sum  so  raised  shall  not  exceed  $125  for  each  and  every  man  so 
recruited. 


This  appropriation  of  $125  per  man  for  recruits  is  all  the 
city  could  legally  appropriate  under  the  laws  of  the  Common- 
wealth, and  it  was  expected  that  the  balance  necessary  to 
increase  the  amount  to  $200  would  be  raised  by  subscription 
among  the  citizens. 

November  3d  (Thursday).  The  City  Cadets  and  citizens 
held  a  meeting  this  evening  to  take  measures  for  a  public 
reception  of  the  Cushing  Guards,  of  the  60th  Massachusetts 
Infantry,  on  their  return  from  Indianapolis,  Ind.  The  fol- 
lowing were  selected  as  a  committee  of  arrangements:  Capt. 
Luther  Dame,  George  W.  Knight,  Jr.,  Robert  G.  Sargent,  Charles 
H.  Goodwin,  Joseph  H.  Walton,  Joseph  A.  Frothingham,  Jr., 
Albert  C.  Titcomb,  and  Asa  Merrill. 

November  7th  (Monday).  That  the  citizens  might  be  in- 
formed regarding  their  subscription  for  the  raising  of  recruits 
for  this  city,  the  mayor  published  the  following  in  the  Herald 
of  this  date :  — 


There  has  been  great  inquiry  of  late  to  know  what  has  become  of 
the  funds  subscribed  by  our  citizens  for  raising  men  to  fill  the  quota  of 
the  city.  I  would  say  that  $6,500  of  the  amount  paid  in  was  expended 
in  procuring  men,  that  $4,200  more  remains  in  the  treasurer's  hands, 
and  that  there  is  about  $1,500  now  uncollected,  which  should  be  paid 
in  at  once,  in  order  that  more  men  may  be  enlisted  towards  filling  the 
next  quota.  A  further  sum  of  $3,500  is  necessary,  together  -ndth  the 
amount  now  in  the  hands  of  the  treasurer,  and  the  balance  due  upon 
the  first  subscription,  to  clear  the  city  from  another  draft  of  500,000 
men,  which  will  undoubtedly  be  called  for  immediately.  I  trust  that 
those  citizens  who  have  not  paid  their  subscription  will  do  so  at  once, 
and  that  a  new  subscription  will  be  started  to  raise  the  amount  neces- 
sary to  fill  our  next  quota.  This  is  important,  more  so  than  on  the  last 
call,  as  the  men  can  now  be  had  at  a  reasonable  price,  but  when  the  call 
is  made  it  will  be  difficult  to  obtain  men  except  at  a  high  cost.

The  city  government  for  1865  was  organized  Monday, 
January  2d.  The  mayor  in  his  address  referred  to  the  rebellion 
as  follows:  — 

The  state  of  the  country  is  such  at  this  time,  that  it  calls  upon  every 
loyal  person  to  lend  his  aid  and  influence  to  the  executive  of  the  govern- 
ment for  the  suppression  of  this  rebellion,  and  the  restoration  of  those 
rights  which  our  fathers  fought  for,  and  which  they  desired  should  be  the 
inheritance  of  their  children.  Many  of  our  sons  have  laid  down  their 
lives  for  the  love  of  their  country,  and  their  ashes  now  lie  buried  beneath 
the  sod  of  what  was  once  our  beloved  and  sister  States.  There  are  about 
our  streets  those  who  show  the  e^^dence  of  their  valor  and  courage,  those 
who  for  a  love  of  country  periled  their  lives  in  its  support.  They  are 
the  ones!  the  wounded  soldiers,  more  than  any  others,  who  should  be 
respected  and  exalted  for  the  part  which  they  have  taken  in  the  suppres- 
sion of  this  war,  and  their  endeavors  to  hold  inviolate  our  national  rights. 
To  such  let  us  extend  a  welcome  hand,  and  render  to  them  and  to  theirs 
such  assistance  as  their  circumstances  require,  —  not  that  assistance 
which  will  make  them  paupers,  or  deprive  them  of  their  rights  of  suffrage, 
but  by  a  fund  created  directly  by  the  city  council,  and  placed  in  the 
hands  of  the  committee  on  relief,  for  their  benefit. 

It  is  well  known  to  all  of  you  that  we  have  at  this  time  hundreds 
of  our  valuable  citizens  in  the  army  and  navy,  determined  at  all  hazards 
to  maintain  the  honor  and  integrity  of  our  flag,  and  to  sustain  the  powers 
that  be,  and  to  uphold  the  institutions  of  the  nation  and  sustain  the 
government.  These  men  have  and  are  still  nobly  representing  our  city, 
on  the  sea  and  in  the  field:  their  courage  has  been  often  tried  and  never 
found  wanting,  and  by  their  valuable  and  patriotic  services  have  won 
for  themselves  and  for  us  a  lasting  honor,  and  have  brought  us  under 
the  greatest  obligations  to  them. 

At  the  commencement  of  this  rebellion  Newbviryport  showed  her 
devotion  to  those  men  who  first  took  up  their  line  of  march  to  the  battle" 
field,  by  appropriating  from  her  treasury  a  sum  of  money  for  the  relief 
of  the  families  of  those  who  so  valiantly  buckled  on  their  armor,  and 
she  has  so  continued  to  do  to  the  present  time;  and  I  trust  that  that 
liberal  fecUng  will  not  be  forgotten  by  the  present  cit}"^  council. 

The  ladies  of  our  city,  who  are  never  behind  in  any  good  object  or 


NEWBUEYPORT    IN    THE   CIVIL    WAR,  1865.  189 

cause,  have  kindly  lent  their  aid  in  raising  funds,  which  have  and  are 
to  be  expended  for  the  relief  of  sick  and  wounded  soldiers.  The  Soldiers' 
Aid  Society  has  done  much  for  their  relief  in  the  way  of  necessary  cloth- 
ing, medicines,  luxuries,  and  other  needful  articles,  which  have  been 
forwarded  to  them.  The  fair  of  the  society  last  winter,  and  the  one  re- 
cently held,  were  crowned  with  that  success  wliich  they  deserved.  The 
ladies  composing  the  society,  and  others  who  have  lent  their  aid  towards 
so  good  and  charitable  an  object,  should,  and  I  dare  say  will,  receive 
the  thanks  and  heartfelt  gratitude  of  many  of  our  sick  and  destitute 
soldiers,  as  well  as  those  of  our  citizens. 

The  recent  presidential  election  held  in  November  last,  shows  con- 
clusively that  the  people  of  the  loyal  States  are  determined  that  this 
war  shall  be  continued  until  the  people  of  every  State  now  in  revolt  lay 
down  their  arms  and  ask  for  peace.  This  is  the  doctrine  under  the  pres- 
ent circumstances  that  every  loyal  citizen,  man,  woman,  and  child,  should 
adopt. 

January  IQth  (Monday).  At  the  regular  meeting  of  the 
city  council  a  Joint  Special  Committee  on  Soldiers'  Relief  was 
appointed,  consisting  of  the  mayor  and  aldermen,  and  Council- 
men  Dodge,  Burrill,  Talbot,  Adams,  Jackman,  and  Clement, 
for  the  year  ensuing. 

February  Qth  (Monday).  At  a  meeting  of  the  city  council, 
an  order  introduced  by  Councilman  Jackman  was  adopted  — 

That  the  sum  of  $500  be  placed  to  the  credit  of  the  Committee  on 
Relief  for  their  disposal  to  such  disabled  persons  who  have  served  in  the 
army  and  navy  during  the  present  rebellion,  or  to  their  families,  who 
in  the  judgment  of  said  committee  are  destitute  and  deserving  of  such 
aid,  or  to  any  other  person  or  persons  of  that  class  that  the  committee 
shall  deem  expedient  to  assist. 

At  the  same  meeting  Councilman  Dodge  offered  the  follow- 
ing resolutions,  which  were  unanimously  adopted  by  both 
branches  of  the  city  government:  — 

Whereas,  The  State  Aid  Society  in  the  citj'  of  Newburyport  having 
proved  of  great  value  to  those  who  are  now  in  the  Army  of  the  United 
States,  therefore, 

Resolved,  That  the  thanks  of  the  city  council  in  behalf  of  the  city 
be  and  are  hereby  tendered  to  the  ladies  of  Nev/buryport  for  the  many 
blessings  which,  through  their  patient  and  protracted  exertions,  have 
gladdened  many  a  heart,  and  bestowed  many  comforts  upon  the  soldier 
in  the  field,  as  well  as  to  those  wounded  and  sick  in  the  several  hospitals.

THE    ENROLLED    MILITIA    OF   NEWBURYPORT   AND    ORGANIZATION 
OF    MILITIA    COMPANIES    BY    DISTRICTS. 

By  the  fourth  section  of  the  Act  concerning  the  miUtia, 
approved  on  the  14th  day  of  May  last,  it  was  provided,  that 
the  commander-in-chief  should  forthwith  proceed  to  divide 
the  Commonwealth  into  military  districts  of  companies,  which 
shall  be  numbered  and  a  record  thereof  be  made  in  the  office 
of  the  adjutant-general.  The  Act  also  provided  that  the 
assessors  of  the  several  cities  and  towns  throughout  the  Com- 
monwealth should  return  to  the  adjutant-general,  on  or  before 
the  tenth  day  of  July  last,  a  list  of  all  persons  liable  to  enroll- 
ment. 

The  assessors  returned  the  number  of  enrolled  militia  in 
this  city  to  be  1,412;  active  mihtia  between  the  ages  of  18 
and  24  years,  283;  the  reserved  militia  between  the  ages  of 
24  and  45  years,  1,129.  By  General  Order  No.  29,  dated 
Boston,  Dec.  7th,  1864,  the  governor,  in  accordance  with  the 
above  provision  of  the  law,  ordered,  that  there  be  two  military 
districts  in  this  city,  one  consisting  of  Wards  1,  2,  and  3,  and 
designated  as  District  No.  137;  the  other  comprising  Wards 
4,  5,  and  6,  and  designated  as  District  No.  138. 

For  the  purpose  of  organization,  the  governor  appointed 
Capt.  WilHam  E.  Currier  for  District  No.  137,  and  Col.  Fred- 
erick J.  Coffin  for  District  No.  138,  to  call  the  meeting  of  the

of  the  proposed  companies,  and  make  returns  to  the  adjutant- 
general.

NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1865.  191 

Alderman  William  Balch  offered  the  following  order,  which 
was  adopted:  — 

Whereas,  All  the  quotas  of  men  to  recruit  the  armies  of  the  United 
States  in  pursuance  of  the  several  calls  of  the  President,  and  assigned  to 
this  city,  have  been  filled,  and 

Whereas,  It  is  probable  that  other  calls  for  more  men  will  be  made, 
it  is  ordered,  that  the  mayor  be,  and  hereby. is,  instructed  to  enlist  in 
the  armies  of  the  United  States,  all  the  men  he  can,  and  that  he  be,  and 
hereby  is,  authorized  to  pay  each  and  every  man  he  shall  enlist  a  sum 
not  exceeding  $125  until  otherwise  ordered. 

Alderman  Balch  also  introduced  the  following,  which  was 
adopted:  — 

That  our  Representatives  in  General  Court  be,  and  hereby  are,  in- 
structed to  use  their  best  exertions  to  procure  the  repeal  of  the  statute 
limiting  the  bounty  to  $125,  which  may  be  paid  to  the  substitutes  of 
drafted  men,  for  recruiting  the  armies  of  the  United  States,  and  to  make 
their  best  effort  for  the  enactment  of  a  law  authorizing  towns  and  cities 
to  raise  by  taxation  of  property  or  by  loan  all  moneys  necessary  for  this 
purpose,  and  to  pay  each  and  every  man  enlisted  in  the  armies  of  the 
United  States,  such  a  sum  as  they  shall  deem  expedient,  and  that  the

tives with  a  copy  of  this  order  immediately  after  its  passage. 

February  27th  (Monday).  The  militia  of  Wards  1,  2,  and 
3  assembled  at  Market  Hall  for  the  purpose  of  electing  a 
Captain.  Capt.  William  E.  Currier  presided,  and  Col.  Fred-

of  Richmond  and  Petersburg,  the  retreat  of  Lee's  army,  and 
the  advance  of  the  Union  armies  under  General  Grant,  was 
received  with  joy  and  thanksgiving.     The  bells  in  the  city 


192  NEWBURYPORT   IN    THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1865. 

rang  out  the  glad  tidings,  the  pubhc  schools  were  dismissed, 
guns  were  fired,  and  all  classes  rejoiced  and  seemed  happy 
together,  in  the  thought  that  the  rebellion  was  soon  to  end, 
and  peace  be  declared. 

April  9th  (Sunday).  The  funeral  of  Sergt.  Joseph  W.  Lunt 
of  Company  A,  35th  Massachusetts  Infantry,  took  place  at 
the  residence  of  his  father,  Mr.  Joseph  J.  Lunt,  No.  10  Dove 
Street,  this  afternoon.  The  services,  conducted  by  Rev. 
Daniel  P.  Pike,  were  solemn  and  impressive.  He  feelingly 
alluded  to  the  noble  character  of  the  deceased;  how  with 
others  he  was  captured  and  confined  in  Southern  prisons,  and 
finally  his  release  and  return  home  to  die.  A  detachment  of 
the  City  Cadets  did  escort  duty.  The  Deluge  Fire  Associa- 
tion, of  which  the  deceased  was  a  member,  and  many  others 
from  the  Fire  Department,  with  a  large  number  of  comrades 
of  his  company  and  regiment,  were  present.  The  flags  in  the 
city  were  at  half-mast,  and  the  bells  tolled,  announcing  the 
close  of  another  life,  the  departure  of  a  true  patriot  whose 
life  was  freely  given  for  the  cause  he  loved. 

THE    SURRENDER    OF   LEE's    ARMY. 

Sunday  evening,  about  ten  o'clock,  the  glorious  news  of 
the  surrender  of  Lee's  army  to  Lieutenant-General  Grant  was 
announced  by  telegraph.  Very  soon  State  Street,  the  Herald 
office,  and  the  Telegraph  Office  were  thronged  with  an  excited 
crowd.  The  bells  rang  out  the  joyful  news,  until  at  twelve 
o'clock  the  rejoicing  by  old  and  young  was  general  and  com- 
plete. Cannons  roared,  and  "the  rockets'  red  glare  gave 
proof  through  the  night  that  our  flag  was  still  there;"  build- 
ings were  illuminated,  and  the  thousands  of  people  who  had 
assembled  sang  and  cheered  until  morning  dawned.  During 
the  day  a  procession  was  formed,  consisting  of  the  City  Cadets, 
Steam  Fire  Engine  Eon  No.  1,  Young  America  Hook  and 
Ladder  Company,  Steamer  No.  2,  Eagle  No.  5,  Agile  No.  6, 
and  Neptune  No.  8,  with  the  members  marching  to  the  sound 
of  music  with  badges  and  banners.  The  day  by  general  con- 
sent was  given  to  rejoicing.  Flags  were  displayed,  dwellings 
decorated,  and  the  people  echoed  the  sentiment  telegraphed 


NEWBUEYPORT   IN    THE    CIVIL   WAR,  1865.  193 

to  Lieutenant-General  Grant  by  Secretary  of  War  Stanton: 
"Thanks  be  to  Almighty  God  for  the  great  victory  with  which 
he  has  this  day  crowned  you  and  the  gallant  armies  under 
your  command.  The  thanks  of  this  Department  and  of  the 
government  and  of  the  people  of  the  United  States,  their 
reverence  and  honor,  have  been  deserved,  and  will  be  ren- 
dered to  you  and  the  brave  and  gallant  officers  and  soldiers 
of  your  army  for  all  time." 

DEATH    OF   PRESIDENT   LINCOLN. 

April  16th  (Sunday).  This  morning  was  received  the  sad 
inteUigence  of  the  death,  by  the  hand  of  an  assassin,  of  our 
noble-hearted  President,  Abraham  Lincoln.  Scarcely  had  the 
glad  tidings  of  great  joy  —  the  fall  of  Richmond,  the  sur- 
render of  Lee,  and  the  end  of  the  rebellion  —  been  received, 
before  the  nation  was  called  to  mourn  for  the  Great  Chief 
Magistrate,  who  had  fought  a  good  fight,  who  had  bravely 
and  honestly  fulfilled  his  mission,  and  who  had  seen  the  suc- 
cessful end  of  his  work.  Most  of  the  churches  of  the  city 
were  draped  in  mourning,  and  there  was  not  a  pulpit  from 
which  there  was  not  some  allusion  made  to  the  great  national 
bereavement.  At  the  Whitefield  Church  the  morning  service 
was  entirely  devoted  to  the  topic,  and  addresses  were  made 
by  the  pastor,  Rev.  Dr.  Spalding,  Rev.  Dr.  Withington  of 
Newbury,  and  Professor  Smythe  of  Andover  Seminary. 

MEETING   OF   THE    CITIZENS. 

At  a  meeting  of  citizens  in  the  Merchants'  Reading  Room, 
Monday  afternoon,  called  to  see  what  should  be  done  to 
properly  observe  the  day  of  the  funeral  of  the  late  President, 
and  show  respect  to  the  memory  of  the  deceased.  Col.  Eben 
F.  Stone  was  chosen  chairman,  and  Mr.  Nathan  A.  Moulton 
secretary.  A  committee  was  selected  to  take  the  whole  mat- 
ter in  charge,  consisting  of  His  Honor  the  Mayor  George  W. 
Jackman,  Jr.,  Hon.  Isaac  H.  Boardman,  Charles  H.  Coffin, 
Esq.,  Rev.  Samuel  J.  Spalding,  D.  D.,  Edward  S.  Moseley, 
Esq.,  and  Col.  Eben  F.  Stone.

RESOLUTIONS    BY   THE    CITY    GOVERNMENT. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  city  council  held  Monday  evening, 
the  mayor  and  aldermen,  by  a  rising  vote,  passed  the  follow- 
ing resolutions  relating  to  the  death  of  President  Lincoln, 
presented  by  Alderman  Currier:  — 

Whereas,  In  the  Providence  of  God  our  beloved  and  honored  Presi- 
dent, the  Chief  Magistrate  of  the  United  States,  departed  this  life  April 
15th  by  the  hand  of  violence,  therefore 

Resolved,  That  in  the  death  of  Abraham  Lincoln  the  nation  has  lost, 
in  its  chief  executive  officer,  a  man  of  sterling  integrity  and  worth,  of 
strong  and  implicit  faith  in  freedom  and  in  the  justness  of  our  cause? 
and  also  one  who  was  an  able  statesman  and  patriot,  which  the  events 
of  the  last  few  years  have  fully  tested. 

Resolved,  That  in  this  hour  of  our  national  sorrow  the  greatness 
of  our  loss,  if  not  expressed  in  words,  is  evinced  by  the  unspoken  and 
unutterable  language  of  the  heart;  and  tears  of  our  loyal  countrymen 
show  how  truly  he  was  loved  by  them. 

Resolved,  That  we  thank  God  for  the  noble  work  our  loved  and 
honored  President  was  permitted  to  do  for  the  nation,  guiding  it  with 
great  sagacity  and  skill  through  the  most  difficult  epoch  of  its  existence. 
Resolved,  That  of  the  acts  which  our  late  President  performed,  none 
of  them  holds  a  higher  place  in  our  hearts  than  the  Proclamation  of 
Emancipation,  which  wiU  give  him  a  place  in  his  country's  fame  beside 
that  of  the  immortal  Washington,  and  entitle  him  to  the  gratitude  of 
all  lovers  of  liberty. 

Resolved,  That  as  a  proper  mark  of  respect  the  City  Hall  be  draped 
in  mourning  for  the  period  of  thirty  days,  and  that  his  honor  the  mayor 
order  all  public  offices  to  be  closed,  and  request  the  entire  suspension 
of  business  on  the  part  of  the  citizens,  on  the  day  of  the  funeral. 

Resolved,  That  in  accordance  with  the  wish  expressed  by  the  acting 
secretary  of  State,  the  mayor  request  the  citizens  to  meet  at  their  re- 
spective places  of  worship  during  the  hours  of  12  m.  and  2  p.m. 

An  order  was  adopted,  authorizing  the  mayor  to  cause  the 
bells  of  the  city  to  be  tolled  and  minute  guns  to  be  fired 
Wednesday  the  19th,  the  day  of  the  funeral  of  our  late 
lamented  President  of  the  nation,  from  12  m.  to  1  o'clock  p.m. 

Mator's  Office,  City  Hall, 
Newburyport,  April  17th,  1865. 
In  accordance  with  the  request  of  the  acting  secretary  of  State,  the 
various  religious  denominations  of  this  city  are  invited  to  meet  at  their 


NEWBURYPORT    IN    THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1865.  195 

respective  places  of  worship  on  Wednesday,  April  19th,  between  12  m.  and 
2  o'clock  P.M.,  for  the  purpose  of  solemnizing  with  appropriate  services 
the  occasion  of  the  funeral  of  the  late  lamented  Chief  Magistrate. 

And  I  recommend  that  on  that  day  the  places  of  business  be  closed 
at  12  o'clock,  and  all  secular  emplojmaent  be  suspended  for  the  remainder 
of  the  day. 

In  the  afternoon,  under  the  immediate  charge  of  a  committee  of 
citizens,  of  which  particular  notice  will  appear  hereafter,  there  will  be 
special  religious  services  at  the  Pleasant  Street  Church,  at  3  o'clock. 

The  bells  of  the  city  will  be  toUed  from  12  to  1  o'clock.  (

April  \^th  (Wednesday).  The  day  was  exceedingly  fine, 
and  the  public  buildings,  churches,  and  dwellings  were  every- 
where draped  in  mourning.  Great  taste  was  displayed  in 
the  mourning  emblems,  as  at  the  Engine  Houses,  American 
Telegraph  Office,  the  Headquarters  of  the  Fenian  Brother- 
hood, Gillett's  Express  Office,  and  the  stores  of  G.  I.  Williams, 
Joseph  Moulton,  Richard  Plumer,  Solomon  &  Levy,  N.  B. 
Lake,  Nathan  A.  Moulton,  WilHam  H.  Johnson,  Samuel  A. 
Smith,  and  Miss  Abbie  Lane;  also  the  residences  of  Joshua 
Hale,  David  Wood,  Charles  H.  Coffin,  Jacob  Stone,  Jacob 
Horton,  Mica j ah  Lunt,  Mrs.  John  Wills,  Miss  Wheelwright; 
Joshua  Aubin,  Norman  C.  Greenough,  R.  H,  Richardson, 
Hiram  Wood,  Eben  Wheelwright,  Mark  Haskell,  Caleb  Gush- 
ing, John  Osgood,  George  Lunt,  and  others  on  High  Street; 
Josiah  Little,  Henry  P.  Toppan,  and  Dr.  Stephen  Gale  on 
State  Street;  William  H,  Brewster  on  Summer  Street;  Edward 
Lesley  on  Market  Street;  Robert  Bay  ley  on  Milk  Street;  John 
Porter,  Mark  Symonds,  Henry  Cook,  and  Mrs.  Robert  Bayley 
on  Federal  Street;  Charles  M.  Bayley  on  Purchase  Street; 
Messrs.  Wilson  on  Strong  Street,  and  very  many  others. 
In  fact,  there  was  scarcely  a  dwelling  in  the  city  that  was 
not  in  some  way  decorated  with  the  emblems  of  mourning. 

At  noon  the  bells  were  tolled,  and  all  the  churches  in  the 
city  opened  with  the  exception  of  the  Universafist  and  St. 
Paul's  (Episcopal),  the  pastors  of  which  were  absent.  At  the 
Catholic  Church,  prayer  was  offered  by  Rev,  Father  Lennon, 
and  remarks  by  Rev.  Mr.  Hammil.  At  the  Belleville  Church, 
Rev.  Dr.   Fiske  officiated;  at  the  Unitarian,  Rev.  Jonathan

Cole;  at  the  Old  town,  Rev.  Dr.  Leonard  Withington  and 
Rev.  John  R.  Thurston;  at  the  Advent,  Rev.  John  Pearson; 
at  the  Prospect  Street,  Rev.  Randolph  Campbell;  at  the 
Liberty  Street,  Rev.  Leroy  S.  Brewster. 

At  three  o'clock,  the  services,  arranged  by  the  mayor  and 
a  committee  of  clergymen,  commenced  at  the  Pleasant  Street 
Church.  All  the  seats  were  occupied,  and  hundreds  were 
unable  to  gain  admission.  The  exercises  consisted  of  (1) 
Voluntary  on  the  organ;  (2)  Reading  of  Scriptures  by  Rev. 
Daniel  T.  Fiske,  D.D.,  of  Belleville;  (3)  Chant;  (4)  Prayer 
by  Rev.  Randolph  Campbell  of  the  Prospect  Street  Church; 
(5)  Hymn;  (6)  Address  by  Rev.  S.  J.  Spalding,  D.D.,  of  the 
Whitefield  Church,  and  Rev.  Richard  H.  Richardson  of  the 
First  Presbyterian  Church,  Federal  Street;  (7)  Hymn;  (8) 
Prayer  by  Rev.  James  N.  Sykes  of  the  Congress  Street  Church; 
(9)  Benediction  by  Rev.  Daniel  P.  Pike  of  the  Court  Street 
Church. 

The  services  were  not  only  of  the  highest  character,  but 
solemn  and  deeply  impressive,  and  the  mourning  of  the  people 
at  the  loss  of  so  great  and  so  good  a  man  as  President  Lincoln 
was  deep  and  sincere. 

THE    CLERGYMEN    OF   NEWBURYPORT   TO    THE    PRESIDENT. 

To  His  Excellency  Andrew  Johnson,   President  of  the   United 

States  op  America: 

Sir,  —  The  undersigned,  ministers  of  the  gospel  of  different  denomi- 
nations in  this  city,  ask  permission  respectfully  to  represent  to  you: 

That  we  deeply  sympathize  with  our  government,  and  especially 
with  yourself  and  with  the  coimtry  at  large  in  the  sudden  and  tragical 
death  of  Abraham  Lincoln,  late  President  of  these  United  States. 

That  we  hereby  express  our  sentiments  of  respect  towards  yourself, 
and  our  confidence  that  imder  the  good  Providence  of  God,  and  guided 
by  the  wisdom  which  he  generously  bestows,  you  will  prove  yourself 
equal  to  the  duties  of  your  high  and  responsible  office  and  to  the  emer- 
gencies which  may  arise  under  your  administration. 

That  with  our  eyes  upon  the  imparaUeled  atrocities  of  the  rebellion 
—  now,  thank  God,  in  process  of  being  crushed  —  we  fully  accept  that 
declaration  of  Holy  Scripture  relating  to  the  rightful  authority  of  "the 
ruler,"  —  "He  beareth  not  the  sword  in  vain,  for  he  is  the  minister  of  God, 
a  revenger  to  execute  wrath  upon  him  that  doeth  evil;"  and  that  therefore 


NEWBUEYPOET   IN    THE    CIVIL   WAR,  1866.  197 

treason  against  the  civil  State  being  the  greatest  of  crimes,  justice,  both 
divine  and  human,  and  our  national  safety,  and  the  laws  by  which  our 
government  is  administered,  unitedly  and  imperatively  demand  the 
inflexible  and  fearless  punishment  of  treason  without  respect  of  persons: 
in  which  duty  may  the  just  Lord  give  you  help,  as  in  his  Holy  Word  he 
hath  also  given  you  authority  —  (see  Paul's  Epistle  to  the  Romans, 
chapter  xiii.,  verses  1  to  4). 

That  we  pledge  our  continued  and  fervent  prayers  to  Almighty  God 
for  you,  that  he  will  be  graciously  pleased  to  preserve  your  valuable 
life  and  the  lives  of  your  members  of  cabinet;  sustain  you  under  your 
weighty  and  solemn  responsibilities  to  him  and  to  this  nation;  that  he 
will  grant  to  you  and  your  constitutional  advisers  his  continued  and 
merciful  guidance  in  the  passing  crisis,  and  that  he  will  give  you  success 
and  prosperity  in  your  administration,  and  the  high  and  momentous 
concerns  of  our  country;  and  that  we  will  devoutly  and  imceasingly  pray, 
God  save  the  President  and  the  People  of  the  United  States  of 
America. 

With  sentiments  of  high  respect  we  are,  sir,  your  obedient  servants,

RECEPTION    TO    ALL    WHO    SERVED    THE    CITY    IN    THE    ARMY    OR 

NAVY   DURING   THE    WAR,    BY   THE    CITY    GOVERNMENT 

AND    CITIZENS. 

It  was  determined  by  the  city  government  and  citizens 
generally,  to  celebrate  the  anniversary  of  the  nation's  inde- 
pendence, and  at  the  same  time  invite  the  returned  soldiers 
and  sailors  who  went  from  the  city  during  the  war  to  become 
their  guests,  —  to  participate  in  the  procession,  and  to  be 
formally  received  by  the  mayor  at  a  dinner  prepared  for 
them  by  the  ladies  at  City  Hall. 

The  exercises  for  the  day  began  with  the  ringing  of  bells 
and  the  firing  of  a  national  salute  of  thirty-six  guns  at  sun- 
rise.

who  went  from  our  city  from  the  commencement  of  hostiUties 
in  April,  1861,  until  the  final  surrender  in  April,  1865.  The 
various  regiments  and  companies  in  which  the  men  served, 
and  the  vessels  and  squadrons  to  which  those  of  the  navy 
were  attached,  were  designated  by  a  small  guidon.  Every 
branch  and  department  of  the  service  was  represented:  the 
army  by  cavalry,  artillery,  and  infantry,  and  the  navy  by 
officers  and  men  who  had  done  faithful  duty  on  the  old-time

200  NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1865. 

This  part  of  the  procession  was  particularly  beautiful,  and 
suggestive  of  the  great  struggle  from  which  the  country  had 
at  that  time  but  just  emerged,  and  the  joy  and  happiness  ex- 
pressed by  all  the  people  that  peace  had  come  and  the  coun- 
try again  united.  The  most  striking  tableaus  presented  were, 
"Army  and  Navy,"  "The  Zouaves,"  "Daughter  of  the  Regi- 
ment," "The  Mantle  of  St.  John  De  Matha,"  "Faith,  Hope, 
and  Charity,"  "Innocence,"  "The  Pleiades,"  "Soldiers  of 
1776  and  1865,"  "America's  Grief,"  "Liberty,"  "Thirty-six 
States,"  "Peace." 

The  street  decorations  were  beautiful.  At  the  head  of 
State  Street  was  a  triumphal  arch  spanning  the  street,  with 
the  mottoes,  "Reunion  To-day  and  the  Union  Forever," 
"The  States  —  distinct  as  the  billows,  but  one  like  the  sea:" 
at  the  foot  of  State  Street  another  grand  arch  with  the  mottoes, 
"Our  Defence,  the  breed  of  the  people,  stout  and  warlike," 
"Our  Greatest  Treasures  —  the  Heroes  of  War  of  '61."

At  the  conclusion  of  the  exercises  at  the  church,  the  city 
government,  invited  guests,  and  soldiers  and  sailors,  were 
escorted  to  the  City  Hall,  over  the  door  of  which  was  an  arch 
bidding  "Welcome,  thrice  welcome,  every  veteran  here."  The 
interior  of  the  hall  was  beautifully  decorated  with  flags,  ever- 
greens, and  mottoes.  On  entering,  the  veterans  passed  be- 
neath an  evergreen  arch,  on  which  were  the  names  of  Grant, 
Sherman,  and  Farragut;  and  on  the  front  of  the  gallery  be- 
neath, "A  laurel  wreath  to  the  victors  now,  and  a  place  in 


NEWBURYPORT    IN    THE    CIVIL   WAR,  1865.  201 

our  grateful  hearts  forever."  Immediately  over  the  door  was 
suspended  a  large  laurel  wreath,  under  which  every  veteran 
walked  in  entering  the  hall.  Opposite  the  entrance,  over  the 
rostrum,  were  three  arches  conjoined,  inscribed,  "Our  Great- 
est National  Debt,  —  Gratitude  to  Our  Defenders."  Upon 
the  walls  tastefully  arranged  were  the  names  of  many  battles 
in  which  the  soldiers  and  the  sailors  from  the  city  had  partic- 
ipated. From  the  rostrum,  on  entering,  the  veterans  were 
greeted  by  more  than  a  hundred  of  the  fairest  ladies  of  the 
city,  who  had  volunteered  to  wait  upon  the  tables.  Between 
seven  and  eight  hundred  participated  in  the  dinner.  Mayor 
George  W.  Jackman,  Jr.,  presided,  and  welcomed  the  veterans 
as  follows :  — 

Gentlemen  of  the  Army  and  Navy  herb  assembled: 

It  becomes  my  very  pleasant  duty  to  welcome  you  home,  and  tender 
to  you,  one  and  all,  the  hospitalities  of  the  city.  We  are  aware  of  the 
many  hardships  and  dangers  through  which  you  have  passed  during 
the  last  four  years;  and  for  myself,  the  city  councU,  and  the  citizens  gen- 
erally, I  tender  you  our  warmest  and  most  sincere  regards  for  the  honor 
which  your  valor  and  daring  have  so  nobly  won  for  yourselves,  and  for 
the  city  you  represent.  We  can  but  feel  proud  of  the  men  who  have 
represented  this  city  in  the  army  and  navy  in  the  late  rebellion,  —  men 
who  left  their  pleasant  homes  for  the  love  of  their  country,  and  to  de- 
fend the  noblest  flag  that  ever  floated  over  any  nation,  —  an  emblem 
of  a  nationality  of  which  every  American  citizen  throughout  the  land 
should  be  proud.  The  blow  struck  at  that  flag  on  Fort  Svunter  forever 
dishonored  and  blasted  those  traitors  performing  the  act,  and  all  others 
who  have  supported  or  given  coimtenance  to  the  act  since.  May  they 
all  meet  the  fate  they  so  richly  deserve!  And,  further,  it  has  forever, 
I  trust,  wiped  slavery  —  that  cherished  institution  of  the  South  —  from 
the  land,  —  the  one  thing  which  has  caused  more  trouble  to  the  free 
States,  more  anxiety  to  those  who  fostered  it,  and  more  expense  to  the 
government,  than  any  other  matter  under  the  Constitution. 

It  has  been  my  privilege,  whether  for  the  best  or  not,  to  preside 
over  the  destiny  of  the  city  most  of  the  time  during  the  rebellion,  and 
I  have  at  aJl  times  and  on  all  occasions  done  what  I  considered  to  be 
right  and  proper  to  maintain  the  honor  of  the  city,  in  providing  men 
and  means  to  sustain  the  army  and  navy,  and  to  support  the  Constitu- 
tion of  the  United  States,  and  to  sustain  the  administration.  It  has 
also  been  my  aim  at  aU  times,  and  upon  all  occasions,  to  render  all  need- 
ful assistance  to  the  families  of  those  of  our  citizens  who  are  or  have 
been  in  the  service  fighting  for  us  and  ours,  in  order  that  they  should 


202  NEWBURYPORT    IN    THE    CIVIL   WAR,  1865. 

be  as  comfortably  provided  for  as  the  circumstances  of  the  case  would 
admit;  and  I  trust  that  I  have  done  in  this  matter  that  which  has  met 
the  approval  of  the  soldiers  and  sailors,  as  well  as  our  citizens.  There 
has  always  been  a  willingness  on  the  part  of  the  city  council  to  vote 
money  and  render  other  aid  to  enable  me  to  furnish  the  requisite  nvunber 
of  men  to  fill  our  quotas  under  the  various  calls  of  the  President,  between 
1,200  and  1,300  men  for  the  army  and  navy;  and  I  feel  proud  to  say, 
that  on  the  breaking-up  of  the  rebellion  I  had  twenty-seven  men  ahead 
of  all  demands  made  upon  us. 

I  will  take  this  occasion  to  say,  that  at  home  or  abroad,  whenever 
I  have  met  any  of  you,  I  have  ever  been  treated  with  that  courtesy  and 
kindness  which  my  position  required,  which  is  ever  characteristic  of  the 
true  soldier  and  sailor;  and  for  this  mark  of  respect  I  tender  you  one 
and  all  here  present,  and  to  your  comrades  in  arms  who  have  not  had 
the  good  fortune  to  arrive  home  (which  I  much  regret,  as  I  hoped  to 
have  the  honor  to  meet  all  who  are  alive,  on  this  occasion),  my  warmest 
regards  and  kindest  feelings  for  the  courteous  treatment  which  I  have 
ever  received  at  your  hands.  Gentlemen,  before  closing  my  remarks, 
I  wish  to  remind  the  company  present  that  this  bountiful  repast  was 
provided  by  the  Ladies'  Soldiers'  Aid  Society,  who  cannot  be  excelled 
in  their  success  in  promoting  the  comfort  and  welfare  of  the  soldier,  and 
in  making  home  cheerful  with  their  graces  and  smiles;  and  many  of  you, 
I  dare  say,  have  partaken  of  the  sweets  and  comforts  which  they  have 
from  time  to  time  forwarded  to  the  battlefields  and  to  the  hospitals  dur- 
ing the  past  four  years.  And  now,  gentlemen,  they  are  here  to  welcome 
you,  and  to  wait  upon  you,  with  their  smiling  and  beautiful  faces;  and 
I  know  that  your  presence  here  gladdens  their  hearts,  and  they  bid  you 
welcome  on  your  joyous  return,  praying  that  health,  happiness,  and  a 
long  life  may  be  your  reward  for  the  troubles  and  toils  through  which 
you  have  passed. 

Rev.  Daniel  T.  Fiske  invoked  a  blessing.  After  the  dinner 
the  mayor  introduced  Philip  K.  Hills,  Esq.,  as  toast-master, 
who  presented  the  following :  — 

"The  Day  We  Celebrate.  Doubly  dear  to  us  as  the 
anniversary  of  our  nation's  birth,  and  as  the  commencement 
of  a  new  era  in  its  history.  The  valor  of  our  soldiers  and  the 
wisdom  of  our  statesmen  have  made  the  country  a  unit,  so 
to  continue  henceforth  and  forever."  Responded  to  by  Rev. 
J.  C.  White,  Rector  of  St.  Paul's  Church. 

"The  President  of  the  United  States."  Responded  to 
by  George  J.  L.  Colby,  editor  of  the  Newburyport  Herald. 

"The  Commonwealth  of  Massachusetts.  Worthy  of 
our  love  and  devotion  for  the  noble  ideas  of  human  liberty 


NEWBURYPORT   IN    THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1865.  208 

she  has  promulgated,  and  of  the  noble  men  who  have  rallied 
to  their  support  and  establishment."  Responded  to  by  Capt. 
Henry  W.  Moulton  of  the  32d  Massachusetts  Infantry. 

"The  Orator  of  the  Day.  His  fitly  spoken  words  en- 
title him  to  confidence  as  a  faithful  sentinel  on  the  poUtical 
outworks."     Responded  to  by  Dr.  George  B.  Loring  of  Salem. 

"The  Western  Army.  They  won  the  first  great  victory 
of  the  war  at  Fort  Donelson,  nor  were  checked  in  their  trium- 
phant march  until  they  reached  the  sea,  nor  in  their  northern 
movement  until  the  'anaconda'  had  caught  in  its  folds  the 
last  rebel  corps  in  the  Atlantic  States.  Their  brilUant  achieve- 
ments have  no  parallel  in  the  history  of  war."  Rev.  Isaac 
S.  Cushman,  Chaplain  of  the  33d  Massachusetts  Infantry, 
responded. 

"The  Home  Guards.  Though  serving  in  the  loyal  States, 
they  were  ready  and  willing  to  share  the  dangers  of  the  field 
whenever  ordered."  Responded  to  by  Lieut.  Joseph  L.  John- 
son of  the  Gushing  Guards,  8th  and  60th  Regiment,  M.  V.  M. 

"Our  Escort,  —  the  Veteran  Artillery  Association.  They 
preserve  the  name  of  the  oldest  military  corps  in  the  Com- 
monwealth. The  fame  of  its  founders  in  the  Revolution  is 
safe  in  its  present  keeping."  Capt.  William  E.  Currier  of  the 
veterans  responded. 

"The  Reader  op  the  Declaration  of  Independence. 
He  adorns  the  profession  by  which  New  England  impresses 
herself  upon  the  nation."  Responded  to  by  Mr.  Albert 
Hale. 

"Our  Martyred  President  and  the  Other  Fallen 
Heroes  in  this  Four  Years'  Conflict  with  Rebellion.

Alderman  Warren  Currier  responded. 

"The  Ladies'  Soldiers'  Aid  Society.  Our  quota  of  the

they  may  justly  feel  proud."  Col.  Eben  F.  Stone  of  the  48th 
Regiment  Infantry,  M.  V.  M.,  responded. 

"The  Navy.  To  them  belonged  the  pleasing  duty  of  re- 
storing the  Stars  and  Stripes  in  nearly  every  State.  Upon 
the  rivers  and  the  sea  they  have  acted  worthy  of  the  navies

and  Ex-Alderman  Thomas  Huse  responded.

Called  from  their  homes  and  peaceful  pursuits  at  a  moment's

of  insurrection,  and  continued  through  the  battles  of  the 
Peninsula,  Fredericksburg,  Antietam,  Gettysburg,  and  the 
Wilderness,  till  they  rolled  back  the  insurgent  host  to  'the 
last  ditch,'  and  there  buried  treason  too  deep  for  a  resurrec- 
tion in  this  age."  Responded  to  by  Capt.  George  W.  Creasey

"The  Army  of  the  James.  The  men  who  bore  the  heat

NEWBURYPORT   WOMEN  IN   THE   WAR. 

The  record  of  Newburyport  during  the  war  would  certainly 
be  incomplete  if  we  fail  to  remember  with  gratitude  the  earn- 
est devotion  and  noble  sacrifices  of  the  women  of  our  city 
who  so  generously  contributed  of  their  time,  their  labor,  and 
their  money  to  the  comfort  of  the  soldiers  in  the  hospitals 
and  camps,  from  the  early  days  of  the  war  to  its  ending  in 
1865. 

soldiers'  aid  society. 

The  first  organized  society  for  preparing  and  sending  ar- 
ticles to  the  soldiers  in  the  field  was  known  as  the  Soldiers' 
Aid  Society.  Early  in  the  summer  of  1861,  Mrs.  Samuel 
Pettingell,  who  resided  on  Bromfield  Street,  feeUng  a  deep 
interest  in  the  soldiers,  suggested  to  some  of  her  friends  the 
plan  of  meeting  frequently  and  working  for  their  benefit. 
The  plan  was  acceptable,  and  on  Tuesday  evening  of  each 
week  the  band  of  workers  gathered  at  a  house  designated  at 
the  previous  meeting.  The  gatherings  were  very  popular, 
and  continually  increased  in  attendance  and  material  results. 
Boxes  and  barrels  containing  bandages,  lint,  towels,  delicacies, 
and  other  articles  useful  in  hospitals,  were  sent  in  various 
directions  to  the  sick  and  wounded,  while  stockings  and  ar- 
ticles of  comfort  were  forwarded  direct  to  the  soldiers  in  the 
field.     For  months  the  good  work  was  continued. 

soldiers'  relief  association. 

August  \Uh,  1862.  Nearly  five  hundred  ladies  responded 
to  a  call  for  a  meeting  for  the  purpose  of  organizing  an  asso- 


206  NEWBURYPORT   IN    THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1865. 

ciation  to  benefit  the  sick  and  wounded  soldiers.  For  tem- 
porary organization  Mrs.  John  Buntin  was  selected  as  chair- 
man, and  Miss  CaroHne  E.  Perkins  secretary.  The  following 
resolutions  were  adopted :  — 

Resolved,  Tliat  in  view  of  the  many  sufferings  and  privations  which 
our  sick  and  wounded  countrymen  in  the  field  are  called  upon  to  encounter, 
we,  the  women  of  Newburyport,  now  pledge  ourselves  to  form  a  society 
called  the  Soldiers'  Relief  Association,  whose  duty  it  shall  be  to  forward 
articles  for  their  comfort;  and  that  the  existence  of  this  society  shall 
terminate  only  with  the  day  when  peace  is  declared. 

Resolved,  That  we  will  do  all  in  oiir  power  to  make  this  organiza- 
tion a  vigorous  and  successful  one,  sparing  no  pains,  shrinking  from  no 
sacrifices  of  time  and  money;  feeling  as  we  earnestly  do  that  our  efforts 
can  never  thoroughly  repay  the  offering  of  life  and  health  which  our  fathers, 
sons,  and  brothers  are  so  heartily  making. 

Resolved,  That  while  we  will  thus  sacrifice  all  the  time  and  means 
in  our  power,  we  will  nerve  our  hearts  to  the  higher  and  nobler  sacrifice 
of  those  near  to  us  for  the  nation's  good;  esteeming  even  our  kindred 
less  dear  than  that  fatherland  which  has  blessed  us  with  uncoimted 
privileges  and  a  glorious  history. 

A  constitution  was  adopted,  declaring  the  purpose  of  the 
association  to  be  to  assist  the  sick  and  wounded  soldiers  of 
the  United  States  service;  that  any  person  could  become  a 
member  by  paying  an  annual  tax  of  twenty-five  cents,  and 
that  the  officers  consist  of  a  President,  a  Treasurer,  Secretary 
and  Assistant  Secretary,  with  an  Executive  Committee  of  two 
ladies  from  each  ward  in  the  city. 

The  following  officers  were  selected  to  serve  for  one  year: — 

President,  Mrs.  John  C.  March.  Vice-Presidents,  Mrs.  George 
W.  Jackman,  Jr.,  Mrs.  Eben  Hale,  Mrs.  Artemas  B.  Muzzey,

210  NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1865. 

"In  this  last  report  of  our  association  we  wish  to  give  an 
account  to  our  friends,  who  have  so  liberally  sustained  us, 
of  the  way  in  which  the  large  sums  intrusted  to  us  have  been 
expended.  In  consequence  of  the  sudden  termination  of  the 
war,  urgent  calls  from  the  hospitals  ended  in  May  last.  Since 
that  time  we  have  sent  but  two  boxes.  The  past  year  thirty- 
five  boxes  have  been  sent,  as  follows:  To  United  States  Gen- 
eral Hospital,  Annapolis,  Md.,  13;  Sanitary  Commission,  8; 
Christian  Commission,  6;  Massachusetts  Soldiers'  Rehef  Asso- 
ciation, Washington,  D.C.,  4;  General  Hospital,  Beverly,  N.J., 
3;  Beaufort,  S.C,  1;  Discharged  Soldiers'  Home,  1. 

"The  whole  number  of  boxes  sent  since  the  organization  of 
the  society,  Aug.  14th,  1862,  to  July  28th,  1865,  159,  containing 
the  following  articles:  3,222  cotton  shirts,  1,589  flannel  shirts, 
2,522  woolen  socks,  781  pairs  drawers,  286  dressing-gowns, 
2,700  bandages,  5,258  handkerchiefs,  3,160  towels,  562  pairs 
of  slippers,  1,666  comfort  bags,  1,120  packages  farina  and 
maizena,  1,359  boxes  condensed  milk,  cocoa,  and  broma,  238 
pounds  sugar  and  tea,  1,031  bottles  wine  and  jellies,  287  bottles 
cologne  and  bay  water.  Given  to  individual  soldiers  belong- 
ing to  this  city,  20  flannel  shirts,  11  cotton  shirts,  10  pairs 
drawers,  32  handkerchiefs  and  towels,  5  dressing-gowns,  3 
pairs  slippers,  3  comfort  bags. 

"The  women  of  this  city,  in  common  with  all  the  patriotic 
women  of  the  North,  would  have  continued  their  labors,  even 
if  those  labors  had  involved  self-sacrifice  and  privations  such 
as  they  never  yet  have  known,  so  long  as  our  noble  soldiers 
were  perihng  their  lives  for  them  on  land  and  water.  In  clos- 
ing this  report  we  wish  to  express  our  gratitude  to  those 
constant,  untiring  friends  of  our  society  who  have  so  gener- 
ously sustained  us.  When  the  estimate  is  made,  as  we  believe 
it  will  be,  of  the  amount  of  supplies  sent  through  the  various 
agencies  to  the  sick  and  wounded  soldiers  during  the  war, 
we  think  the  record  of  Newburyport  will  show  that  the  energy 
and  self-sacrifice  of  her  women  is  only  equaled  by  the  liberahty 
of  her  patriotic  men." 

For  the  Executive  Committee,

NEWBURYPORT   IN    THE   CIVIL    WAR,  1866.  211 

The  money  value  of  the  articles  sent  to  the  hospitals  by 
the  noble  women  of  our  city  during  the  war  can  hardly  be 
estimated  in  dollars  and  cents,  and  assuredly  not  if  we  con- 
sider their  earnest  devotion  and  unquestioned  loyalty  to 
the  cause  for  which  they  labored  so  long  and  so  patiently. 
Adjutant-General  Schouler,  in  his  History  of  the  Civil  War  in 
Massachusetts,  in  recounting  the  work  of  the  Newburyport 
Soldiers'  Relief  Association,  says,  "At  the  close  of  the  war 
they  had  furnished  in  articles  and  in  money  for  the  sick  and 
wounded  to  the  value  of  thirty  thousand  dollars."

DESCRIPTION    BY    CAPTAIN    LAWRENCE    W.    BROWN    OF    THE 

CAPTURE    OF   THE    SHIP    SONORA   BY   THE    ALABAMA, 

CAPTAIN    SEMMES. 

In  March,  1863,  we  were  on  the  berth  in  New  York  with  the  ship 
Sonora  of  Newburyport,  loading  for  Melbourne  with  a  general  cargo; 
finished  loading  and  sailed;  had  forty-five  passengers.  On  third  day  at 
sea,  when  about  six  hundred  miles  from  New  York,  discovered  four 
stowaways,  all  soldiers,  deserters  from  some  regiment  or  regiments  that 
had  been  on  the  way  "to  the  front,"  but  changed  their  minds  and  became 
tolerable  good  sailors.     We  arrived  in  good  time  at  our  destined   port. 


214  NEWBURYPORT    IN    THE    CIVIL    WAR,  186-5. 

After  a  time  there,  we  took  some  cargo  and  two  hundred  and  ninety 
Chinese  passengers  on  board,  and  sailed  for  Hong  Kong;  made  the  passage 
in  forty-six  days,  and  landed  all  hands  in  good  order.     On  arriving  we 
found  about  twenty-five  American  ships  at  anchor,  all  snug  with  light 
masts  and  yards  sent  down,  crews  discharged,  and  having  the  appear- 
ance of  a  siege.     On  making  inquiries  we  found  that  a  strange  steamer 
had  put  in  her  appearance  in  the  China  Seas,  and  the  ship  Contest,  laden 
with  a  valuable  cargo,  had  been  captured,  plxindered,  and  burned,  said 
steamer  being  the  Alabama,  and  said  to  be  a  Confederate  States  priva- 
teer: therefore  there  had  not  been  an  American  ship  sail  from  Hong 
Kong  for  several  weeks,  and  ours  the  first  arrival  for  some  time.     As 
we  were  not  on  a  voyage  of  discovery  looking  for  privateers,  and  had  a 
charter  to  proceed  to  Akyab,  British  India,  and  load  rice  for  Europe, 
we  remained  in  port  ten  days,  and  sailed  for  Akyab;  touched  at  Singa- 
pore, and  landed  one  hundred  Chinese  passengers,  among  which  were 
twenty  girls.     At  Singapore  we  fell  in  with  a  fleet  of  fifteen  to  twenty 
American  ships,  aU  in  the  same  predicament  as  the  Hong  Kong  fleet; 
paid  off  white  crew,  and  shipped  colored  men;  these  men  were  part  of 
the  crew  of  Contest,  who  were  landed  at  Batavia,  and  sent  up  to  Singa- 
pore care  of  U.  S.  Consul.     In  five  or  six  days  we  were  up  and  at  it  again; 
sailed  on  through  Malacca  Straits  toward  Akyab.     On  the  26th  of  De- 
cember, in  3°  N.,  103°  E.,  at  6  a.m.  a  steamer  was  in  sight,  coming  up 
astern,  steering  for  us.     After  a  short  time  I  saw  she  was  flying  a  blue 
British  ensign,  and  had  a  large  number  of  men  on  board,  and  I  was  quite 
satisfied  she  was  the  A  labama,  and  we  were  to  have  a  morning  call  from 
the  great  brave  (?)  individual  "Semmes,"  and  expected  a  great  circus 
was  to  be  our  day's  entertainment,  —  and  it  certainly  was  so. 

When  the  steamer  arrived  quite  near  on  our  starboard  beam,  some 
three  or  four  boats  were  launched,  filled  with  men  and  officers,  and  came 
alongside.  We  had  made  all  preparations  to  receive  them.  An  officer 
came  up,  and  addressed  me  from  the  rail,  —  I  was  on  the  house,  — 
asked  me  ship's  name,  where  from,  where  boimd,  and  where  she  belonged. 
In  a  certain  way  he  was  answered.  He  said  we  were  a  prize  to  the  Con- 
federate steamer  Alabama,  pointing  to  her,  and  he  was  the  prize  master. 
I  asked  for  his  name,  and  invited  him  to  come  on  board.  He  came  up. 
I  went  down  in  the  cabin,  and  he  followed  me.  We  had  quite  an  inter- 
view, and  a  goodly  time  was  passed,  he  all  of  the  time  advising  me  to 
go  at  once  to  "the  steamer  with  my  papers,"  etc. 

In  the  meantime  a  gang  were  loading  their  boats  with  provisions, 
with  which  we  were  well  suppUed,  and  best  quality,  a  great  haul  for  them. 
Fourteen  colored  men  and  ten  white  boys  were  placed  in  one  of  our  boats, 
and  set  adrift,  with  notice,  or  orders,  to  keep  away  from  the  steamer. 
Two  colored  men  and  my  two  officers  —  Isaac  N.  Colby,  1st  officer, 
and  Bradford  Swap,  2d  officer,  both  Newbiuyport  men  —  were  thea 
ordered  into  our  quarter-boat  and  told  to  pull  to  the  steamer,  which  they 
did.     A  lot  of  these  steamer  people  were  preparing  to  set  fire  to  the  ship; 


NEWBURYPORT    IN    THE    CIVIL   WAR,  1865.  215 

others,  officers  included,  were  plundering  the  ship's  cabin;  and  with  dis- 
putes among  these  fellows,  as  to  whom  such  and  such  a  thing  belonged, 
each  one  having  claimed  they  saw  it  first,  the  whole  affair  was  of  rather 
a  ridiculous,  undignified  nature,  it  seeming  to  me  that  they  could  not 
have  any  discipline  on  board  the  steamer  from  which  they  had  poimced 
down  upon  us ;  and  had  we  been  captured  in  the  China  Seas,  or  up  through 
the  Malacca  Straits,  by  Chinese  or  Malay  pirates,  we  might  have  ex- 
pected about  the  same  treatment  as  we  were  getting  from  these  repre- 
sentatives of  the  Southern  Confederacy. 

I  had  been  told  by  this  fellow  "Armstrong,"  the  prize  officer,  that 
the  ship  would  be  burned;  and  more  than  three  times  did  he  tell  me 
that  I  was  getting  myself  in  trouble  by  not  going  to  the  steamer  at  once. 
However,  after  all  of  our  people  had  gone,  and  the  torch  all  ready  to 
apply  to  the  kindlings,  of  tar,  oil,  etc.,  an  officer  told  me  to  go  with  him 
in  his  boat  to  the  steamer,  which  I  did.  We  were  but  a  few  moments  in 
the  boat  before  arriving  at  the  port  side  of  the  steamer,  outside  of  three 
or  four  boats  which  were  being  discharged  of  the  spoils  which  this  crowd 
of  two  hundred  and  twenty-eight  people  had  scooped  so  early  in  the 
morning.  After  getting  on  deck  I  noticed  this  chap  had  hauled  down 
the  British  ensign  and  hoisted  what  they  called  the  Confederate  naval 
colors.  To  me  the  conditions  of  my  surroundings  looked  like  poor  dis- 
cipline and  an  awful  dirty  vessel.  Some  ten  or  fifteen  tons  of  coals  were 
lying  on  deck  amidships,  men  standing  about  in  groups,  and  some  lying 
about  the  decks.  I  did  not  walk  aft,  although  I  saw  and  recognized 
the  bold  (?)  navigator  Semmes  near  the  mizzen-rigging,  but  passed  for- 
ward on  port  side,  looked  at  the  guns,  bow-chaser,  thence  aft  on  star- 
board side,  no  one  having  spoken  to  me,  only  when  a  tall,  shabbily  dressed 
feUow  spoke  as  we  came  alongside,  and  said,  "Captain,  you  can  come  up." 
I  merely  answered  by  saying,  "That  is  what  I  came  here  to  do."  My 
boat  was  then  with  the  two  white  and  two  black  men  towing  at  his  stem. 
Crossing  the  deck  to  port  side  well  aft,  a  lanky,  tall,  cheaply  dressed 
individual  approached  me,  with  an  extended  hand,  and  said,  "Good- 
morning,  Captain  Brown."  I  did  not  give  him  my  hand,  —  "the  hand 
of  Douglas  is  his  own."  He  looked  at  me,  probably  feefing  insulted, 
and  asked  me  if  I  would  go  down  in  his  cabin.  I  said  I  would  be  pleased 
to  do  so.  He  went  below,  I  followed;  had  a  fine  chance  to  kick  him 
downstairs  —  but  didn't.  I  was  not  invited  to  be  seated.  He  asked 
my  ship's  name.  I  threw  my  papers  on  the  table,  abaft  of  which  he 
stood,  while  I  stood  facing  him.  He  gazed  at  me,  put  his  glasses  on, 
picked  up  the  big  envelope,  which  contained  Register  and  Crew  List, 
opened  the  Register,  looked  at  me,  sort  of  sizing  me  up,  and  said,  "Sonora, 
she  belongs  to  our  enemy.  I'll  bum  her!"  I  answered,  "I  don't  care 
if  you  do.  She  is  well  insured  in  London."  —  "Where  are  you  from?" 
—  "New  York."  —  "Where?"  —  "New  York,  via  Melbourne  and  Hong 
Kong."  —  "Where  are  you  boimd?"  —  "That  is  just  what  I  would  like 
to  know.     You  say  you  will  bum  her,  and  she  was  aU  ready  to  be  set 


216  NEWBURYPORT   IN    THE   CIVIL   ^VAR,  1865. 

fire  to  when  I  left  her.  How  do  I  know  what  comes  next?"  The  fel- 
low became  a  little  enraged,  took  a  good  view  of  me,  and  then  asked 
"where  I  was  bound?"  —  "To  Akyab."  Other  such  questions  just  as 
fooUsh  were  put  to  me,  all  answered  in  a  most  pleasing  and  polite  manner. 
"Of  what  does  your  cargo  consist?"  I  could  only  laugh  at  him,  and 
answer,  "Sand!"  He  moved  from  his  position,  and  yelled,  "I  want  no 
comments,  sir!  what  is  your  cargo?"  I  tried  to  bristle  up  a  little  on  a 
different  tack,  and  not  as  pleasantly  told  him  "I  was  master  of  a  ship 
myself  an  hour  since,  and  always  knew  how  to  treat  my  callers  and  my 
passengers;"  no  comments  had  been  made  but  by  himself,  etc.  He 
asked  "if  I  had  any  money  about  me?"  I  then  made  up  my  mind  he 
was  either  a  confounded  fool  or  a  consummate  scoundrel.  We  were 
all  young  fellows,  and  not  really  easily  scared.  An  officer,  his  clerk, 
was  all  this  time  sitting  at  the  table,  no  others  in  sight  of  us.  I  had  a 
little  more  to  say,  and  then  awaited  the  result.  He  handed  my  papers 
to  the  clerk,  and  he  left  the  cabin.  Then  this  Semmes  said  to  me,  "Now, 
sir,"  —  I  took  a  seat,  expecting  my  sentence,  —  "I'll  give  you  your 
choice.  You  may  remain  with  me  eight  or  ten  days,  and  at  the  end 
of  that  time  I  will  set  you  down  wherever  I  happen  to  be,  or  you  may 
go  in  your  boat!"  —  "What  about  my  crew?"  —  "Those  niggers  are 
going  in  their  boat!"  —  "My  officers?"  —  "Are  going  with  your  niggers.'* 
I  said,  "If  those  men  and  officers,  that  belong  to  me,  and  I  to  them, 
are  to  be  set  adrift  here  in  those  boats,  your  ship  is  no  place  for  me;  my 
duty  is  not  here.  I  will  go  with  them,  and  whatever  they  may  have  to 
go  through,  I  willingly  wiU  share  it  with  them.  They  have  served  me 
faithfully,  and  I  will  never  desert  from  them."  He  said,  "You  wiU 
have  no  charts."  I  answered,  "I  do  not  want  any."  —  "No  books  or 
nautical  instruments  of  any  kind."  I  again  said,  "I  do  not  want  them; 
they  win  be  of  no  use  to  me  here  in  an  open  boat,  and  I  will  not  leave 
my  people  under  any  circumstances.     I  know  my  duty." 

He  left  the  cabin  and  went  on  deck.  I  looked  about  me,  then  went 
on  deck,  and  made  remarks  with  two  different  officers.  They  seemed 
to  think  they  had  conquered  a  fleet  of  men-of-war  instead  of  one  poor 
innocent  merchant  ship.  It  seemed  to  me  like  an  eagle  swooping  down 
on  a  humming-bird.  My  boat  was  searched,  and  a  quadrant  belonging 
to  the  mate  and  other  articles  were  passed  up  on  the  deck  of  this  bold 
cruiser.  I  asked  him  if  we  could  go  now,  as  it  was  not  safe  towing  along- 
side his  craft.  He  said,  "You  have  no  water  in  your  boat."  I  said, 
"Only  that  which  leaked  in."  —  "WeU,"  he  said,  "you  hang  on  me,  and 
I'll  tow  you  toward  your  ship  and  you  can  get  some."  She  was  then 
one  mass  of  flames.  I  looked  at  him  and  said,  "I  never  sent  a  man 
where  I  would  not  go  myself,  and  that  is  no  place  for  me."  He  then 
said,  "You  can  clear  out!  You  are  the  most  impertinent  man  I  have 
dealt  with!"  We  cut  his  line,  and  dropped  away  from  him.  There 
we  were,  five  in  the  boat ;  —  and  it  did  seem  to  me  as  though  I  never 
was  so  far  from  home  and  friends. 


NEWBURYPORT   IN   THE   CIVIL   WAR,  1865.  217 

We  landed  on  the  Island  of  Penang,  on  the  afternoon  of  December 
31st.  I  gave  the  mates  each  one-third  of  the  money  I  managed  to  save, 
about  $100.  Then  it  was  each  for  himself.  The  Consul  provided  for 
the  two  sailors.  The  first  mate  got  down  to  Singapore,  and  home  from 
there  in  a  Boston  bark,  Pearl.  Second  mate  went  up  to  Rangoon  in  a 
British  ship;  left  her,  and  became  a  pilot;  died  there  some  three  years 
afterward,  aged  twenty-four,  and  weighed  three  hundred  and  fifteen 
j,ounds,  "the  biggest  man  in  Burmah."  Consuls  have  no  authority  to 
assist  captains;  they  do  not  come  under  the  head  of  seamen.  I  pro- 
ceeded in  steamer  Chabuda,  British,  to  Maulmain,  then  Rangoon,  and 
thence  to  Calcutta,  where  I  felt  at  home.  The  first  white  man  I  met 
was  my  brother;  we  had  not  met  for  seven  years.  I  left  Calcutta  on 
the  22d  day  of  January,  1864,  by  way  of  Madras,  Point  de  Galle,  Suez, 
across  to  Alexandria;  at  Cairo  called  out  and  inspected  the  PjTamids; 
Malta,  Gibraltar,  and  Southampton;  only  three  hours  at  Southampton; 
then  in  the  North  German  steamship  Cimbria  to  New  York;  arrived  in 
Newbur5rport  on  the  afternoon  of  March  17th,  1864,  having  experienced 
a  beautiful  voyage,  and  met  with  some  peculiar  peoples. 


REPRESENTATIVE  RECRUITS. 

Governor  Andrew  promulgated,  July  1st,  1864,  Circular  No. 
25,  from  the  Provost-Marshal-General's  office  in  relation  to 
representative  recruits,  furnished  by  persons  not  fit  for  military 
duty,  and  not  liable  to  draft,  from  age  or  other  causes.  Such 
a  personal  representative  was  quite  different  from  the  substi- 
tute furnished  by  the  drafted  man  or  one  liable  to  military 
duty,  and  were  furnished  by  patriotic  citizens  who  were  not 
themselves  Uable  to  military  service  :  —  Such  a  representative 
was  furnished  by  Capt.  Robert  Couch,  a  ship  master  of  this 
city.

FORT   AT   SALISBURY   POINT, 

The  fort  at  the  mouth  of  the  Merrimack  River  on  Salis- 
bury Point  was  commenced  in  1863,  and  completed  the  fol- 
lowing year.  It  was  locally  designated  Fort  Nichols,  in  honor 
of  Capt.  William  Nichols  of  this  city,  who  commanded  the 
privateer  Decatur  in  the  War  of  1812.  This  name,  however, 
was  not  recognized  by  the  War  Department. 

The  location  of  the  fort  was  700  feet  from  Badger's  Rocks 
to  embrasure  No.  7,  and  850  feet  from  embrasure  No.  3  to 
what  was  at  that  time  high-water  mark  on  the  ocean  face. 
The  range  of  gun  No.  9  was  a  little  west  of  north.  Neither 
the  scale  of  the  fort  nor  that  of  the  sections  will  apply  to  this 
cut,  as  the  original  sketch  was  considerably  reduced  to  con- 
form to  the  size  of  the  book. 

The  greatest  external  diameter  was  from  the  angle  of  No. 
1  gun  to  that  of  No.  7,  which  was  350  feet.  The  interior  of 
the  bombproof  quarters  was  90  feet  by  12. 

The  accompanying  cut  shows  in  plan  and  sections  the 
completed  fort,  giving  the  positions  of  the  guns,  the  maga- 
zines, and  the  bombproof  quarters.  It  was  originally  intended 
to  mount  one  12-pounder  siege  gun  and  9  rifled  32-pounders 
in  the  fort;  but  the  armament  on  June  30th,  1866,  and  June 
30th,  1867,  was:  one  12-pounder  smooth-bore  siege  gun  on  a 
wooden  carriage,  mounted  in  barbette  on  the  northeast  face; 
three  8  in.  smooth-bore  guns,  on  iron  casemate  carriages, 
mounted  at  embrasures  Nos.  1,  2,  and  3;  three  42-poimder 
rifled  guns  on  wooden  casemate  carriages,  mounted  at  em- 
brasures Nos.  4,  5,  and  6.  These  guns  commanded  the  nar- 
row entrance  to  the  harbor  between  Salisbury  Point  and 
Plum  Island.  The  embrasures  are  numbered  by  the  figures 
1  to  9.  After  the  completion  of  the  fort,  its  garrison  con- 
sisted of  a  sergeant  and  a  small  number  of  men  sent  from 
other  fortifications  along  the  coast.

SKETCH    OF  THE  COMPANIES  RECRUITED  IN   NEWBURY- 
PORT FOR  THREE   YEARS'   SERVICE. 

FORTIETH   REGIMENT  NEW  YORK  INFANTRY 
(MOZART  regiment). 

This  regiment,  to  which  four  companies  from  Massa- 
chusetts —  one  each  from  Newburyport,  Cambridge,  Milford, 
and  Lawrence  —  were  attached,  was  organized  at  Yonkers, 
N.Y.,  June  27th,  1861,  to  serve  for  three  years.  Company  B 
was  organized  in  this  city,  and  known  as  the  National  Guards. 
The  regiment  left  New  York  July  4th,  and  was  assigned  to 
Gen.  Phil  Kearney's  Brigade,  which  subsequently  became  a 
part  of  the  Third  Army  Corps.  It  took  part  in  the  Peninsular 
campaign  under  General  McClellan,  and  remained  in  the 
Army  of  the  Potomac  during  its  term  of  service.  It  sustained 
an  unusual  loss  in  battle,  and  in  its  number  of  killed  stands 
next  to  the  head  in  the  list  of  New  York  infantry  regiments.

other  regiments.  The  casualties  in  the  regiment  were:  killed 
and  mortally  wounded,  238;  died  of  disease,  accidents,  etc., 
127;  died  in  Confederate  prisons,  45;  total,  410.

SEVENTEENTH   REGIMENT  MASSACHUSETTS  INFANTRY. 

This  regiment  was  recrmted  at  Camp  Schonler,  Lynnfield, 
during  the  summer  of  1861,  and  with  the  exception  of  two 
companies  was  recruited  in  Essex  County.  Company  A, 
known  at  the  time  of  recruiting  as  the  "City  Greys,"  was 
from  Newburyport.  The  regiment  left  the  State  August  23d 
for  Baltimore,  Md.,  forming  part  of  the  forces  under  General 
Dix.  In  the  spring  of  1862  it  was  transferred  to  New  Berne, 
N.C.,  and  remained  in  that  department  until  the  close  of  the 
war.  It  was  mustered  out  of  service  July  11th,  1865.  Total 
membership  of  regiment  during  its  term  of  service:  officers,

THIRTY-FIFTH   REGIMENT  MASSACHUSETTS   INFANTRY. 

The  Thirty-fifth  Regiment  was  organized  at  Lynnfield,  and 
left  the  State  Aug.  22d,  1862.  Company  B  was  recruited  by 
Capt.  Albert  W.  Bartlett,  and  left  the  State  as  color  com- 
pany. After  a  short  stay  at  Arlington  Heights,  it  was  assigned 
to  the  second  brigade,  second  division.  Ninth  Army  Corps, 
commanded  by  Gen.  A.  E.  Burnside.  It  participated  in  the 
Maryland  campaign  under  General  McClellan,  and  after  the 
battle  of  Fredericksburg  in  1862  it  went  to  Newport  News, 
Va.  From  there  it  was  sent  to  join  General  Burnside  in  the 
department  of  Ohio,  and  assigned  to  duty  in  the  interior  of 
Kentucky.  In  June,  1863,  it  joined  General  Grant's  forces  at 
Vicksburg,  Miss.,  when  after  its  surrender,  July  4th,  1863,  it 
followed  General  Johnston  from  the  Big  Black  River  to  Jack- 
son, investing  the  city.  Returning  to  Kentucky  August  14th  it 
moved  with  the  Corps  to  Knoxville,  Tenn.,  and  was  in  the  city 
during  the  siege  by  General  Longstreet's  forces.    In  April,  1864, 


222  N:EWBUTIYP0RT   in    the   civil   war,  1865. 

the  regiment  returned  with  the  Corps  to  the  Army  of  the 
Potomac,  taking  part  in  the  advance  from  the  Wilderness  to 
Petersburg  under  General  Grant.  During  the  siege  it  took  an 
active  part  at  the  crater  July  30th.  After  the  surrender  of 
General  Lee  at  Appomattox,  the  regiment  was  sent  to  Alex- 
andria, Va.,  where  it  remained  until  the  grand  review  at 
Washington,  May  23d,  1865.  On  June  9th  the  regiment  was 
mustered  out  of  service,  and  arrived  in  Boston  June  13th. 
The  following  is  a  list  of  the  engagements  in  which  the  regi- 
ment participated :  —

The  total  membership  of  the  regiment  during  its  term  of 
service  was  1,526  officers  and  enlisted  men;  148  of  the  number 
were  killed  in  action  or  died  of  wounds;  68  died  of  disease, 
etc.,  and  33  died  in  Confederate  prisons.  The  total  killed

Casualties  in  Company  B  (Newburtport  Company). 

Original  membership  of  company:  officers  and  enlisted

In  addition  to  the  138  men  in  the  regiment  credited  to 
Newburyport,  the  city  furnished  eleven  more  men  who  were, 
with  three  exceptions,  counted  on  the  quota  of  Newburyport, 
making  the  aggregate  of  149  officers  and  men  belonging  to 
this  city  who  served  in  the  regiment.  From  this  number,  15 
were  killed  in  action  or  died  of  wounds,  7  died  of  disease, 
etc.;  and  36  were  wounded  in  action;  33  served  until  the  end 
of  the  war. 


NEWBURYPORT    IN    THE   CIVIL   WAB,  1865.  223 

NUMBER  OF  MEN  FURNISHED  BY  NEWBURYPORT. 

The  number  of  men  called  for  from  Newburyport  during  the 
war  was  twelve  hundred  and  ninety- three  (1,293).  Those  who 
so  promptly  responded  to  the  first  call  of  the  President  in 
April,  1861,  and  were  mustered  into  the  United  States  service 
for  three  months,  and  those  who  served  for  ninety  and  one 
hundred  days,  were  not  counted  on  the  quota  of  the  city. 
^  The  city  sent  to  the  field,  not  including  those  in  the  40th  New 
York  Infantry  (Mozart),  thirteen  hundred  and  sixty-three  (1,363) 
men,  which  according  to  credits  allowed  by  the  Department  was 
seventy  (70)  men  more  than  she  was  required  to  furnish. 

To  ascertain  more  correctly  the  number  of  men  which  the 
city  actually  furnished  during  the  war,  and  for  whom  she 
should  have  received  credit,  there  should  be  added  to  the 
1,363  men  credited  to  her,  the  101  men  in  Company  B,  40th 
New  York  Infantry  (Mozart),  whose  credits  were  transferred 
by  the  War  Department  from  New  York  to  Massachusetts  in 
1863;  also  the  35  men  enlisted  after  the  city's  quota  for  1862 
had  been  filled,  and  who  by  a  ruling  of  the  Provost-Marshal- 
General  were  not  allowed  to  count  on  the  next  quota,  and  the 
12  recruits  sent  to  camp  under  the  call  for  October  17th, 
1863,  in  excess  of  the  contingent  called  for  and  for  whom  no 
credits  were  given.  We  find  the  aggregate  number  of  men  fur- 
nished by  the  city  to  have  been  1,511,  which  was  an  excess  of 
218  men  over  all  demands  made  upon  the  city  during  the  war. 


AMOUNT   EXPENDED  BY  NEWBURYPORT. 

From  the  History  of  Massachusetts  in  the  Civil  War  by 
Adjutant-General  Schouler,  we  find  that  the  amount  of  money 
appropriated  and  expended  by  the  city  on  account  of  the  war, 
exclusive  of  State  Aid,  was  $123,817.89.  In  addition  to  this, 
$6,300.00  were  voluntarily  contributed  by  private  citizens. 

The  amount  of  money  raised  and  expended  by  the  city  in 
the  payment  of  State  Aid  to  the  families  of  volunteers  dm-ing 
the  four  years  of  the  war,  and  afterwards  reimbursed  by  the 
Commonwealth,  was  as  follows:  In  1861,  $6,322.45;  in  1862, 
$25,000.00;  in  1863,  $35,988.25;  in  1864,  $27,000.00;  in  1865, 
$16,000.00  ;  total  amount,  $110,310.70.

NEWSPAPER    CORRESPONDENTS. 

From  the  departure  of  the  first  company  from  Newburyport 
in  April,  1861,  to  the  disbanding  of  the  army  in  1865,  the  Daily 
Herald  printed  communications  from  the  various  locations  in 
both  the  Army  and  Navy  in  which  the  soldiers  and  sailors  from 
Newburyport  were  situated.  The  earliest  of  these  letters  were 
from  "  Essex,"  who  was  with  the  8th  Mass.  Infantry  from  Mas- 
sachusetts to  Washington,  and  later  in  the  Department  of  the 
Gulf.     Letters  signed  "A,"  who  was  a  member  of  Company 

A,  17th  Mass.  Infantry,  were  continuous  from  early  in  1861 
until  1864.  Communications  signed  "  J.  D.  P."  and  "  E.  L.  D." 
were  from  graduates  of  the  Herald  office  who  served  with  the

ARMY    NURSES. 

The  only  representative  of  this  class  of  noble,  patriotic,  and 
self-sacrificing  women  from  our  city  during  the  war,  was  Mrs. 
Sarah  E.  Smith,  daughter  of  Jeremiah  and  Abigail  Downs, 
who  devoted  several  months  of  faithful  and  earnest  work 
in  caring  for  the  sick  and  wounded  soldiers  in  the  army 
hospitals. 

Mrs.  Smith  was  born  in  1831;  died  January  2d,  1873,  buried 
on  New  Hill.  

VETERAN  RESERVE  CORPS. 

The  organization  of  the  Invalid  or  Veteran  Reserve  Corps 
was  begun  in  April,  1863,  by  which  it  was  proposed  to  retain 
the  services  for  garrison,  hospital  and  provost  duty,  of  that 
class  of  deserving  officers  and  men,  who  from  wounds  received 
in  action  or  disease  contracted  in  the  service,  were  unfit  for 
further  duty  in  the  field,  and  who  would  otherwise  be  dis- 
charged, but  were  still  able  to  perform  fight  duty  ;  also  to 
bring  back  for  fike  purposes,  those  who  had  previously  been 
discharged  as  unfit  for  active  service,  and  not  fiable  to  draft. 

The  Corps  numbered  June  1st,  1865,  762  commissioned 
oSicers,  and  29,852  enlisted  men,  many  of  whom  remained  in 
the  service  long  after  the  close  of  the  war.

soldiers  who  died  while  in  the  hands  of  the  enemy,  according  to  this  official  report; 
was  30,156.  The  causes  of  their  deaths  are  classified  as  follows:  From  disease,  24,866; 
wounds,  2,072;  sunstroke,  20;  accidents,  7;  drowning,  7;  killed  after  capture,  104,

prisons,  the  deaths  are  not  all  included  in  the  foregoing  statement.  The  mortality 
of  Union  prisoners,  as  shown  by  the  graves,  has  been  estimated  at  36,401.

THE   WAK   WITH    SPAIN. 

1898-99. 


The  blowing-up  of  the  battleship  Maine,  with  the  loss  of 
266  American  sailors,  in  the  harbor  of  Havana,  Feb.  15th, 
1898;  the  ultimatum  of  President  McKinley  to  the  Spanish 
government,  in  which  he  demanded  the  evacuation  of  Cuba 
by  the  Spanish  forces,  with  their  refusal  to  do  so,  —  resulted 
in  the  declaration  of  war  against  Spain  by  the  Congress  of  the 
United  States,  April  21st,  1898.  This  action  was  immediately 
followed  with  a  call  by  President  McEanley,  dated  April  23d, 
for  125,000  volunteers  for  the  army.  Massachusetts  was  re- 
quested to  furnish  four  regiments  of  infantry  and  three  heavy 
batteries  to  serve  for  the  period  of  two  years,  unless  sooner 
discharged. 

In  General  Order  dated  April  28th,  His  Excellency  Gov- 
ernor Wolcott  designated  the  Eighth  Regiment  of  Infantry, 
M.  V.  M.,  as  one  of  the  four  regiments  privileged  to  volunteer 
under  the  President's  call.  That  the  response  was  prompt 
is  evinced  by  the  fact  that  on  May  5th  the  entire  regiment 
reported  at  the  State  camp-ground  at  South  Framingham, 
and  on  the  11th  was  mustered  into  the  United  States  service 
for  the  period  designated.  On  the  16th  of  May  the  regiment 
left  the  State  for  Chickamauga  Park,  Ga.,  where  they  remained 
imtil  August  23d;  from  which  date  until  November  10th  it 
was  at  Lexington,  Ky.,  when  it  changed  to  Americus,  Ga,, 
where  it  camped  until  Januarj'  10th,  1899,  when  it  embarked 
on  the  transport  Michigan  at  Savannah,  Ga.,  for  Matanzas, 
Cuba,  arriving  on  the  13th.  The  regiment  continued  in  Cuba 
until  April  3d,  when  it  left  for  Boston,  where  it  was  mustered 
out  of  the  United  States  service,  April  28th,  1899. 

Company  A,  of  the  8th  Reg.  Mass.  Vols.,  the  Cushing 
Guards  of  this  city,  was  mustered  into  the  United  States  ser- 
vice with  three  officers  and  seventy-four  men.  May  11th,  1898. 


502        SUPPLEMENTARY   RECORDS,    GUSHING   GUARDS. 

Under  the  call  of  the  President  of  May  25th,  the  regiment 
was  recruited  to  the  army  standard  of  106  men  to  a  company. 
Company  A  received  35  recruits,  making  its  aggregate  mem- 
bership while  in  the  service  112  officers  and  men.  Of  this 
number,  1  died  of  disease,  3  were  discharged  for  disability, 
1  dropped  as  a  minor,  5  transferred,  1  dishonorably  discharged, 
and  2  deserted. 

The  Gushing  Guards  was  one  of  the  oldest  military  organ- 
izations in  the  State,  having  been  organized  in  1778  as  the 
Newburyport  Artillery  Gompany,  During  the  War  of  the 
Revolution  it  was  sent  to  Newport,  R.I.,  to  re-enforce  General 
Sulhvan.  It  was  one  of  the  first  companies  to  respond  to 
the  call  of  Governor  Andrew  in  1861,  and  was  three  times 
mustered  into  the  United  States  service  during  the  rebellion. 
Its  early  and  continued  service  to  the  State,  with  its  honor- 
able and  patriotic  record,  ought  to  have  preserved  its  or- 
ganization, and  continued  it  as  a  part  of  the  State  Militia. 
It  was  disbanded  by  General  Order  No.  11,  Adjutant-Gener- 
al's Office,  March  12th,  1902.

Index  of  Names 


INDEX    OF   NAMES. 


In  compiling  this  index  the  author  was  confronted  with  the  fact  that  the 
records  of  the  city  and  state,  as  well  as  the  army  muster  rolls  revealed 
many  discrepancies  in  names.  In  addition  to  this  was  the  spelling  of  names 
differently  by  members  of  the  same  family  and  by  the  same  individual. 

It  has  been  the  occasion  of  much  careful  research,  and  finally  the 
author  decided  to  make  the  Individual  Records  and  Index  give  aU  names 
the  correct  spelling,  ascertained  up  to  the  time  of  publishing,  and  to 
these  the  reader  is  respectfully  referred  when  desiring  to  find  the  name 
of  any  relative  or  friend  recorded  in  the  book.
